Ingredients

🍗 4 chicken thighs, trutros
🧂 1 tablespoon salt
🧄 2 cloves garlic, minced
🍋 1 lemon, juiced
🌿 1 teaspoon dried oregano
🌶️ 1 teaspoon paprika
🌿 1 teaspoon cumin
🌶️ 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
🧈 2 tablespoons olive oil, Goya brand recommended
🍷 1/4 cup white wine, Concha y Toro brand is a great Chilean choice

Instructions

1- Prepare the Marinade:

• In a mixing bowl, combine salt, minced garlic, lemon juice, oregano, paprika, cumin, black pepper, olive oil, and white wine.
• Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

2- Marinate the Chicken:

• Place the chicken thighs in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish.
• Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well-coated.
• Seal the bag or cover the dish, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to develop.

3- Preheat the Grill:

• Preheat your gas grill to medium-high heat.
• If you are using a model like the Weber Spirit II, ensure the grill is clean and ready for cooking.

4- Grill the Chicken:

• Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off.
• Place the chicken thighs on the grill skin-side down.
• Grill each side for about 6-8 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
• Adjust the heat as necessary to prevent charring.

5- Rest and Serve:

• Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
• Garnish with fresh lemon wedges or chopped parsley, if desired.
