Instructions

1. Marinate the chicken:

In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, pepper, paprika, oregano, and cumin.

Coat the chicken evenly with the marinade.

Cover and refrigerate 30 minutes to 2 hours for best flavor.

2. Preheat the grill:

Heat grill or grill pan to medium-high. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

3. Grill the chicken:

Place chicken on the grill, skin side down if using bone-in.

Grill 6–8 minutes per side for boneless breasts or 8–10 minutes per side for bone-in, until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

4. Rest the chicken:

Remove from grill and let rest 5 minutes before slicing to retain juices.

5. Garnish and serve:

Sprinkle with fresh parsley or cilantro and serve with lemon wedges.
