Chicken Marinade
Method
Cooking Instructions
- 1
Marinate the Chicken
In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, cumin, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Add the halved chicken, ensuring it's well-coated with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
- 2
Prepare the Grill
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Ensure the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
- 3
Grill the Chicken
Remove the chicken from the marinade and let excess marinade drip off. Place the chicken skin-side down on the grill. Cook for about 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the skin is crispy.

Serve
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve with French fries and a fresh house salad.
