Portuguese Grilled Chicken
  1. In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic, smoked paprika, sweet paprika, cayenne, oregano, cumin, lemon juice, lemon zest, red wine vinegar, salt, and pepper to create the marinade

  2. Place chicken in a large resealable bag or dish and pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are well coated

  3. Marinate for at least 2 hours or overnight in the refrigerator

  4. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and oil the grates lightly to prevent sticking

  5. Remove chicken from the marinade and grill skin-side down first for about 6-8 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the skin is crispy

  6. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving

  7. Garnish with chopped parsley and lemon wedges
