Peruvian-Style Grilled Chicken: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe


  • Author: Lana
  • Total Time: 0 hours

Ingredients

– 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
– 2-3 cloves garlic, minced
– 2 tablespoons paprika
– 1 tablespoon ground cumin
– 1 tablespoon dried oregano
– 1 teaspoon black pepper
– 1 teaspoon salt
– Juice of 2 limes
– 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
– Fresh cilantro (for garnish)


Instructions

Follow these easy steps to create your own Peruvian-Style Grilled Chicken:

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, combine garlic, paprika, cumin, oregano, black pepper, salt, lime juice, and vegetable oil. Mix well to create a marinade.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken thighs in a large resealable plastic bag or bowl. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes, or up to overnight for better flavor.
3. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
4. Grill the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Place the chicken skin-side down on the hot grill. Cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
5. Rest the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for about 10 minutes. This will help the juices redistribute.
6. Serve: Garnish the grilled chicken with fresh cilantro before serving.

These steps ensure that you get beautifully grilled chicken full of flavor and moisture every time.
