Product Details

Ingredients:

• 2 large chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 2 tsp garlic paste
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
• 1 tsp chili powder
• 1 tsp cumin powder
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• ½ tsp black pepper
• ½ tsp salt
• 1 tbsp hot sauce (like Tabasco or Sriracha, optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken:

   • Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin. This ensures even cooking.

2. Make the Marinade:

   • In a bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, garlic paste, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, chili powder, cumin powder, oregano, black pepper, salt, and hot sauce (if using).

3. Marinate the Chicken:

   • Coat the chicken breasts evenly with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably 3-4 hours, to let the flavors penetrate.

4. Grill the Chicken:

   • Outdoor Grill: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Brush the grates with oil to prevent sticking. Grill the chicken breasts for 6-7 minutes per side, or until they are fully cooked and have nice grill marks (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C).
   • Grill Pan: Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Grease lightly with oil. Cook the chicken for 5-6 minutes on each side until cooked through.
   • Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake the chicken breasts on a greased baking sheet for 18-20 minutes, flipping halfway through. Broil for 2-3 minutes for a charred finish.

5. Rest and Serve:

   • Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes after cooking to retain its juices.
   • Serve hot with a side of grilled vegetables, a fresh salad, or roasted potatoes. Pair it with a creamy dip like garlic aioli or a tangy yogurt sauce for extra flavor.

Tips for Juicy Chicken:

• Do not overcook; use a meat thermometer for accuracy.
• If you prefer extra spicy, sprinkle some red chili flakes over the chicken just before grilling.

Enjoy your fiery, flavorful grilled chicken breast! 🔥🍗
