Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Chicken drumsticks, skinless
- 3 tablespoons Low sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons White vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the soy sauce, white vinegar, lime juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, paprika, dried oregano, black pepper, and salt. Mix well to form the marinade.
Add the skinless chicken drumsticks to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight for maximum flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly brush the grill grates with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Place the marinated chicken drumsticks on the grill. Cook for approximately 20 minutes on each side, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking and to achieve a slightly charred appearance.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the Low Fat Pollo a la Brasa with a side of fresh salad or steamed vegetables to complete the meal.
