Marinated Grilled Chicken Pepitos Recipes

Steps:

• Make marinade by combining lemon juice, olive oil, salt, pepper, and oregano. Place chicken in a dish with tall sides and pour marinade over chicken. Use spoon to baste chicken with marinade. Refrigerate for 2 to 24 hours--a longer marinade time will produce a more intense flavor. Remove from refrigerator and use a flat-sided utensil to gently scrape off any marinade solids. Grill chicken over high heat for a total of 20 minutes, turning over after first 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• In a small iron skillet toast the coriander and cumin for a few seconds or until the spices emit a lovely aroma. Remove from heat and cool for a moment. In a small mixing bowl combine the toasted spices with the paprika, lime juice and sugar. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and crushed red pepper.
• Prick the chicken pieces all over and rub the pieces with half of the lime/spice mixture. Combine remaining half of lime/spice mixture with garlic, vegetable oil and yogurt. Marinate the chicken in the yogurt mixture for 24 hours, turning the pieces on occasion.
• Preheat the broiler (or heat an outdoor grill) and set the rack 4 inches away from heat source. Remove chicken from marinade and broil, skin side down for about 15 minutes a side or until cooked through and browned. Let rest at room temperature for up to an hour before serving. Or chill and bring back to room temperature before serving.

Steps:

• Place the hens in a baking dish. Mix the red wine, scallions, ginger, garlic and sesame oil together in a bowl and pour the marinade over the hens. Cover and refrigerate the hens for 1 to 2 days.
• Preheat grill to medium heat. Place the hens on the grill bone side down and grill, covered, about 10 minutes. Gently turn them over and continue grilling for another 10 to 15 minutes or until the juices run clear. Let the hens rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Mix together pesto, Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, pepper, and salt in a 1-gallon resealable freezer bag. Add chicken, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator 8 hours to overnight.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Remove chicken from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade.
• Cook chicken on the preheated grill over indirect heat until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 6 to 8 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
