1
Marinate the Chicken
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, salt, black pepper, and dried thyme. Mix well. Add chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.
2
Preheat the Grill or Frying Pan
If grilling, preheat the grill to medium-high heat. For frying, heat a skillet over medium heat and add a splash of olive oil.
3
Cook the Chicken
For grilling, place the marinated chicken on the grill and cook for 6-7 minutes per side or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). For frying, place the chicken in the skillet and cook for about 6-8 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
4
Serve
Remove the chicken from the grill or skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy with your favorite sides!
