Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pounds Chicken, bone-in skinless pieces (breasts, thighs, drumsticks, or a combination)
- 0.25 cups Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 0.25 cups Orange juice, freshly squeezed
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.25 cups Water
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, orange juice, minced garlic, olive oil, paprika, cumin, oregano, coriander, salt, black pepper, and water to create the marinade.
Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring each piece is fully coated. Cover the bowl and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight for maximum flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess liquid to drip off. Discard the marinade.
Place the chicken pieces on the grill. Cover and cook for 20 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear.
For added flavor and moisture, baste the chicken occasionally with fresh lemon juice while cooking.
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the Low Fat Koo Koo Roo Original Flame Broiled Chicken warm, paired with steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a healthy, delicious meal.
