Ingredients for Your Latin Grilled Chicken Recipe
- 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons Founder’s Feast seasoning
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Mesquite wood chips for grilling
How to Make My Latin Grilled Chicken Recipe
- First, preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 375-400°F, adding mesquite wood chips for smoky flavor.
- Next, pat chicken thighs dry. Rub with olive oil, then coat with Founder’s Feast seasoning, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
- Then, place chicken skin-side down on the grill. Sear for 5-6 minutes until crispy and golden.
- After that, flip, reduce heat to medium, cover, and grill for 20-25 minutes, until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Finally, remove from grill, rest for 5 minutes, and serve hot.
Grilling Tips from El Fuego
For the best Latin Grilled Chicken Recipe, use a meat thermometer to hit 165°F without drying it out. Additionally, mesquite chips bring that Latin smoke—don’t skip ‘em! For more grilling hacks, check out Once Upon a Chef.
