Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Orange juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro (fresh, chopped)
- 1 whole Jalapeño, diced
Instructions
In a large bowl, mix olive oil, lime juice, orange juice, and apple cider vinegar to create the marinade base.
Add smoked paprika, ground cumin, dried oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the marinade. Whisk until well combined.
Stir in chopped cilantro and diced jalapeño.
Place the chicken thighs in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated.
Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, to let the flavors blend.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting excess marinade drip off before grilling.
Place the chicken on the grill, skin side down, and cook for about 10-12 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the Keto Pollo Asado with your favorite low-carb sides and enjoy!
