Ingredients
- Marinade Mixture:
- 3 tbsp of soy sauce
- 1 tbsp of grapeseed oil
- 1 ½ tsp of ground cumin
- 1 ½ tsp of sweet paprika
- 1 tsp of minced garlic
- 1 tsp of thyme leaves
- ½ tsp of freshly cracked black pepper
- ½ tsp of dried oregano
- ½ tsp of granulated onion
- ¼ tsp of ground coriander
- ¼ tsp of ground turmeric
- ¼ tsp of dry mustard powder
- A pinch of ground cinnamon
- Additional Ingredients:
- 1 lb of boneless, skinless chicken breast, butterflied
- Juice of ½ a lime
Step 1
Mix together a flavorful blend of soy sauce, grapeseed oil, an array of aromatic spices like cumin, paprika, garlic, thyme, pepper, oregano, granulated onion, coriander, turmeric, mustard powder, and a hint of cinnamon in a spacious resealable bag. Introduce the chicken into this fragrant concoction, ensuring it's well-dressed in the marinade, then expel any extra air before sealing the bag. Let the flavors meld by refrigerating for a generous window of 8 to 24 hours.
Step 2
As the outdoor grill heats up to a toasty 500 degrees F (260 degrees C), take a moment to lightly oil the grate for a smooth cooking experience. To amp up the tangy notes, consider incorporating a splash of fresh lime juice into the marinade mix while awaiting the grill's readiness.
Step 3
Once everything is set, place the marinated chicken on the preheated grill, allowing it to cook until reaching a juicy tenderness with no pink center and clear juices flowing, remember to turn it over once during the process, usually taking around 7 to 8 minutes in total.
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Start by marinating the chicken in a mixture of lime juice, garlic, and a blend of Peruvian spices for at least 4 hours in the refrigerator. Make sure to place the marinated chicken in an airtight container to prevent any leaks or spills.
- 2. When grilling the chicken, consider using a grill basket to prevent the pieces from falling through the grates. This will not only make grilling easier but also help keep the chicken moist and tender.
