Instructions
Creating delicious Peruvian-Style Grilled Chicken is easy if you follow these clear steps:
1. Prepare the Marinade: In a large bowl, combine minced garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, black pepper, chili flakes, lime juice, and olive oil.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken to the marinade, ensuring it is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for maximum flavor.
3. Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat, ensuring it is well-greased to prevent sticking.
4. Grill the Chicken: Place the chicken skin-side down on the grill. Cook for about 6-8 minutes, turning until the skin is crispy and browned.
5. Check for Doneness: Flip the chicken and continue to grill for another 10-15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
6. Rest the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes.
7. Garnish and Serve: Slice the chicken and garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
