1. 1

   Prepare the Marinade

   In a blender, combine olive oil, lime juice, garlic, cumin, oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth.

2. 2

   Marinate the Chicken

   Place the whole chicken in a large resealable bag and pour the marinade over it. Seal the bag, ensuring the chicken is well coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight for best flavor.

   Rest and Serve

   Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges.
