1
Prepare the Marinade
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well blended.
2
Marinate the Chicken
Add the chicken legs to the marinade and ensure they are well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight for maximum flavor.

3
Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, approximately 400°F (200°C).
4
Grill the Chicken
Remove the chicken legs from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off. Place the chicken legs on the grill, skin side down. Grill for about 10-12 minutes on each side, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and has a nice char.
5
Let Rest and Serve
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
