Peruvian Grilled Chicken

This regional dish incorporates soy sauce, evidence of the strong influence of the japanese and chinese communities in peru. The intensely flavored marinade, brightened with lime juice and garlic, deeply seasons the meat. The grill gives it a beautiful sear. I like the ease of this recipe & usually have all ingredients in house. I marinate overnight. Recipe from gourmet.

Steps

Marinate chicken:.
Blend soy sauce , lime juice , garlic , cumin , paprika , oregano , 1 / 2 teaspoon pepper , and oil in a blender.
Put chicken in a large sealable bag and add marinade.
Seal bag and marinate , chilled , 8 to 24 hours.
Grill chicken:.
If using a charcoal grill , open vents on bottom and lid of grill.
Light a large chimney starter full of charcoal.
When coals are lit , dump them out along opposite sides of bottom rack , leaving a space free of coals in middle.
When you can hold your hand 5 inches above the grill rack directly over coals for 3 to 4 seconds , coals will be medium-hot.
If using a gas grill , preheat all burners on high , then reduce heat to medium-high.
Discard marinade , then pat chicken dry.
Oil grill rack , then grill chicken over area with no coals , skin side down first , covered , turning over once , until cooked through , 30 to 35 minutes.
