Pollo A La Parrilla
First things first, let’s get our taste buds ready for this smoky delight. Nothing beats the aroma of grilled chicken wafting through the air. So, let’s kick off this cooking venture with the ingredients you’ll need to whip up this flavor-packed dish.

Ingredients
- 4 bone-in chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Juice of 2 limes
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh cilantro, for garnish
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Mix it well to create a marinade.
- Add the chicken thighs to the bowl, ensuring they are well-coated with the marinade. Cover and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight to let those flavors meld.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If you’re using a charcoal grill, make sure the coals are hot and glowing.
- Once the grill is ready, remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Place the chicken thighs skin-side down on the grill.
- Grill the chicken for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the skin is golden and crispy.
- Once done, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. This helps keep the juices locked in.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve it up with your favorite sides like rice, beans, or a fresh salad.
