Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight for maximum flavor.

  3. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  4. 4

    Grill the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the marinade and shake off excess. Grill the chicken pieces for 6-8 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove from the grill and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your Pollo Asado!
