How to Make African Grilled Chicken Breast
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon paprika, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Add 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs total) to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, for maximum flavor.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
- Place the marinated chicken breasts on the preheated grill. Grill for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy.
- Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
