1
Marinate the Chicken
In a bowl, combine the garlic (minced), aji amarillo paste, lime juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade. Add the chicken thighs to the bowl and coat them thoroughly with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
2
Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, ensure the coals are evenly distributed for consistent cooking.
3
Grill the Chicken
Remove the chicken from the marinade and let excess marinade drip off. Place the chicken thighs on the grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is nicely charred.
4
Serve
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
