Juicy Spicy Grilled Cuban Chicken: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust for spice preference)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • Fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)
  • Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine the olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, oregano, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
  2. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for 1-2 hours or overnight for enhanced flavor.
  3. Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat. Make sure grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
  4. Remove Chicken from Marinade: Take the chicken out of the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off.
  5. Grill the Chicken: Place the chicken on the hot grill. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken has nice grill marks.
  6. Rest the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the chicken tender and juicy.
  7. Slice and Serve: Slice the chicken against the grain and serve it warm, garnished with fresh cilantro and lime wedges.

Notes

  • For extra spice, increase the cayenne pepper.
  • Marinating overnight enhances the flavor.
