How To Make Charcoal Grilled Chicken Sinaloa-Style with Grilled Corn, Black Bean, and Quinoa Relish?
- Marinate: Mix vinegar, oil, lime juice, orange juice, spices, and garlic. Rub the mix over the chicken and refrigerate for 4–8 hours.
- Grill: Preheat the grill. Cook chicken skin-side down over direct heat for 5 minutes per side. Move to indirect heat and cook until done (160°F white meat, 165°F dark meat).
- Rest and Serve: Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes.
Recipe Tips:
- Marinate Properly: Let the chicken marinate for at least 4 hours to soak up all the flavors. Overnight marination gives the best results.
- Preheat the Grill: Always preheat the grill to ensure even cooking and perfect grill marks on the chicken.
- Use Indirect Heat: After searing, move the chicken to indirect heat to cook it through without burning.
- Check the Temperature: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked to 160°F for white meat and 165°F for dark meat.
- Rest the Chicken: Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes after grilling to keep it juicy.
How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?
- Refrigerate: Cool the chicken first, then put it in a container with a lid. Keep it in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Freeze: Let the chicken cool completely. Wrap it or use a freezer container and freeze for up to 2 months.
- Reheat: Warm the chicken in a pan with a bit of water or broth for 5–7 minutes.
