Grill the Meats
Place the marinated meats on the grill. Cook each type of meat based on its thickness and type: Picanha (about 15 minutes per side for medium rare), Fraldinha (about 10 minutes per side), Chicken thighs (about 7-10 minutes per side), Baby back ribs (about 20 minutes). Turn occasionally to achieve even cooking and nice grill marks.
