Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a large bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, cumin, oregano, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice to create the marinade.

  2. 2

    Add Chicken

    Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.

  3. 3

    Prepare Chorizo

    While the chicken is marinating, slice the chorizo sausage into thick rounds.

Grilling

  1. 4

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

  2. 5

    Grill the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  3. 6

    Grill the Chorizo

    During the last few minutes of cooking the chicken, add the sliced chorizo to the grill. Grill for about 2-3 minutes on each side until browned and slightly crispy.

Serving

  1. 7

    Plating

    Once cooked, remove the chicken and chorizo from the grill. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing.

  2. 8

    Garnish

    Serve the grilled chicken and chorizo with chopped fresh cilantro on top and lime wedges on the side.
