Instructions
Preparation and Grilling | |
|---|---|
| 1. | Combine smoked Spanish paprika, cumin, coriander, fennel, garlic powder, salt, mustard, and olive oil in a small bowl to create a flavorful spice paste. Thoroughly coat the chicken with the paste, ensuring it is evenly distributed, and allow it to marinate in the refrigerator for a few hours or overnight. |
| 2. | One hour before grilling, take the marinated chicken out of the refrigerator. Season generously with salt on both sides and let it come to room temperature. |
| 3. | Prepare the grill for direct medium-high heat and clean the grates. Grill the chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F, approximately 6 to 8 minutes per side. Allow the chicken to rest for 10 minutes before serving. |
