Why This Dish Is So Special

This dish brings together bold smoky flavors with the vibrant and zesty spices of Peru. It’s a perfect balance of heat and tang that brightens up any meal. Plus, grilling adds a delicious char that enhances the overall taste.

Kitchen Tips

- Marinate the chicken for at least 2 hours to let the flavors fully develop.
- Use a charcoal grill if possible to add an authentic smoky aroma.
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes after grilling to keep it juicy.

Step 1

In a large resealable bag, mix together the soy sauce, grapeseed oil, cumin, paprika, garlic, thyme, pepper, oregano, granulated onion, coriander, turmeric, mustard powder, and cinnamon. Toss the chicken in the marinade, making sure each piece is well coated. Press out as much air as you can, seal the bag, and pop it in the fridge for anywhere from 8 to 24 hours to let those flavors soak in.

Step 2

When you’re ready to cook, fire up your grill to about 500°F (260°C) and give the grates a quick brush with oil to keep the chicken from sticking. While the grill heats, stir some fresh lime juice into the leftover marinade for an extra zing.

Step 3

Grill the chicken over direct heat, turning it once halfway through, until it’s no longer pink inside and the juices run clear—this should take about 7 to 8 minutes total. Once it’s done, let it rest for a few minutes before serving to lock in the smoky, spicy goodness.

Best Foods To Serve With This

Serve with a side of fresh green salad or roasted vegetables to complement the smoky spices. A simple quinoa or rice dish works well to soak up the flavorful juices. Don’t forget a squeeze of lime for extra brightness.

Food Storage Guide

Store leftover chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or on a grill to maintain moisture and flavor. Avoid microwaving to keep the texture tender.
