Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Add the chicken thighs and ensure they are well coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken thighs. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice golden color.

  3. 3

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy your Poco Pollo Magnifico!
