Categories     Chicken     Dinner

Yield 4 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 whole chicken, cut in half
Marinade
Juice from 3 lemons
Juice from 3 oranges
1/4 cup olive oil
6 cloves garlic, diced
1 Tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon paprika
Dash of pepper sauce (siracha)

Steps:

  • Marinade: Add all the ingredients in a saucepan over medium heat and simmer for about ten minutes. Transfer the marinade to a bowl to cool - refrigerate if you are in a hurry. Place chicken halves in a large (gallon) ziploc bag and pour marinade over chicken in bag. Zip closed and refrigerate for at least 3 hours. Turn bag a few times to distribute marinade evenly. Grilling: Start your fire. When the coals are red and no longer flaming, place the chicken meat side down, skin side up on the sides of grill (where the heat is not as intense) and lay a couple of sheets of foil on chicken; on foil lay a couple (1 for each chicken half) of bricks. Close the lid and cook for 30 min., then turn chicken over on skin side. It should be safe to use the middle of grill now, but use your judgment. Lay the foil and bricks again on chicken and cook for about 15 min. The skin should be nicely browned. Serve with rice, black beans, plantains, green salsa or your favorite side side and garnish.

This was my first time making Cuban Grilled Chicken and it was a success! The chicken was tender and juicy, and the marinade gave it a wonderful flavor. I'll definitely be making this again.
