Marinade

Chicken

Method

Marinade Preparation

1

Prepare the Marinade

In a large bowl, combine the orange juice, lime juice, minced garlic, olive oil, cumin, paprika, salt, black pepper, and chopped cilantro. Whisk together until well blended.

Marinating Chicken

2

Marinate the Chicken

Place the chicken pieces into a large resealable plastic bag or a dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight for maximum flavor.

Grilling

3

Preheat the Grill

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F or 190-200°C).

4

Grill the Chicken

Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off. Place the chicken pieces on the grill. Grill for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is nicely charred.

Serving

5

Serve

Once grilled, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with additional fresh cilantro if desired.
