Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a large bowl, combine chicken breasts, olive oil, minced garlic, red chili flakes, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to 2 hours for best flavor.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Place the chicken on the grill or skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is cooked through.

Garnishing

  1. 3

    Garnish and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill or skillet. Let it rest for a few minutes. Chop fresh cilantro and squeeze lime juice over the chicken before serving. Enjoy your spicy chicken hot!
