Juicy Spicy Grilled Cuban Chicken Recipe for Flavor Lovers

Ingredients

  • Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • Freshly squeezed lime juice
  • Freshly squeezed orange juice
  • Minced garlic
  • Olive oil
  • Cumin
  • Oregano
  • Paprika
  • Hot sauce
  • Salt
  • Pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare the marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together the fresh lime juice, orange juice, minced garlic, olive oil, cumin, oregano, paprika, hot sauce, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  2. Marinate the chicken: Place the chicken thighs in a large zip-top bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is coated well. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for maximum flavor.
  3. Preheat your grill: About 30 minutes before you’re ready to cook, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If you’re using a charcoal grill, let the coals burn down until they are covered with white ash.
  4. Grill the chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade and allow the excess to drip off. Place the chicken on the grill, skin side down, and cook for about 6-8 minutes. Flip the chicken and continue grilling for another 6-8 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
  5. Rest the chicken: Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a plate and let it rest for about 5 minutes. This helps the juices redistribute, ensuring each bite is juicy.
  6. Serve: Slice the chicken and serve with your favorite sides, such as rice and beans or a fresh salad. Don’t forget to drizzle some extra marinade over the top for added flavor!
