This recipe offers a delightful twist on grilled chicken, featuring a zesty citrus marinade with aromatic herbs and spices.
Combine the ground cumin, smoked paprika, and ground cinnamon in a mixing bowl.
Toast the spices lightly before mixing to enhance their aroma.
Add minced garlic, finely chopped red onion, lemon juice, and olive oil to the spice mix.
Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for a brighter flavor.
Stir in chopped parsley to the marinade.
Add parsley just before marinating to keep its flavor fresh.
Place the chicken in the marinade, ensuring it is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Marinating overnight allows the flavors to deeply penetrate the chicken.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Ensure the grill grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the grill. Cook for 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally, until fully cooked.
Use a meat thermometer to check that the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Serve the grilled chicken hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
Pair with a fresh salad or your favorite side dish for a complete meal.
