Sazon Grilled Chicken Thighs
Description
Sazon Grilled Chicken Thighs uses a marinade combining olive oil with ground cumin, coriander, turmeric, garlic powder, oregano, salt, black pepper, and optional cayenne pepper. After marinating for at least 30 minutes, the chicken is grilled over medium-high heat until its internal temperature reaches 165°F, ensuring juiciness and safe cooking. The spices provide warm, earthy, and mildly pungent flavors that permeate the meat. Once grilled, the chicken is rested briefly under foil and then chopped into bite-sized pieces.
Grilling adds a slight char and caramelization to the exterior, contrasting with the juicy interior. This preparation is convenient for meal prep and adaptable for various dishes—toss it into leafy green salads, wrap in tortillas for tacos, or serve over rice or quinoa bowls for a protein boost. The marinade's simple spice blend is approachable yet distinctive enough to elevate the otherwise plain chicken thighs.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds chicken thigh boneless, skinless
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric ground
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon oregano
- cayenne pepper optional; 1/4 teaspoon; for heat
- ½ teaspoon salt
- black pepper freshly ground
Instructions
- First, marinate your chicken: in a large bowl add chicken, olive oil, cumin, coriander, turmeric, garlic powder, oregano, cayenne, salt and pepper. Toss together to coat the chicken and allow it to marinate for 30 minutes-1 hour, or up to 24 hours.
- Preheat your grill to 400 degrees F. Place the chicken directly on the grill. Grill chicken thighs for 6-8 minutes per side or until fully cooked and the meat thermometer reads 165 degrees F.
- Transfer cooked chicken to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm, then chop into bite sized pieces. Use in salads, tacos, bowls and more.
