Preparation of Chicken

  1. 1

    Marinate Chicken

    In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken thighs, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook Chicken

    Heat a grill or skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken thighs. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from heat and let rest.
