Prep Time: 480 Minutes
Cook Time: 50 Minutes
Ready In: 530 Minutes
Servings: 4
Ingredients:
1/3 cube(s) soy sauce
2 tablespoon(s) fresh lime juice
5 clove(s) garlic
2 teaspoon(s) ground cumin
1 teaspoon(s) paprika
1/2 teaspoon(s) dried oregano
1 tablespoon(s) olive oil
1 whole(s) chicken quartered
Directions:
1. Marinate chicken:
2. Blend soy sauce, lime juice, garlic, cumin, paprika, oregano, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and oil in a blender.
3. Put chicken in a large sealable bag and add marinade. Seal bag and marinate, chilled, 8 to 24 hours.
4. Grill chicken:
5. If using a charcoal grill, open vents on bottom and lid of grill. Light a large chimney starter full of charcoal (preferably hardwood). When coals are lit, dump them out along opposite sides of bottom rack, leaving a space free of coals (the size of the quartered chicken) 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.
6. If using a gas grill, preheat all burners on high, then reduce heat to medium-high.
7. Discard marinade, then pat chicken dry. Oil grill rack, then grill chicken over area with no coals (or over a turned-off burner), skin side down first, covered, turning over once, until cooked through, 30 to 35 minutes (add charcoal to maintain heat).
8. Cooks' note: If you aren't able to grill outdoors, chicken (quartered) can be roasted in middle of a 500°F oven in a 13- by 9-inch roasting pan with 1 cup water 30 minutes, then tented with foil and roasted until browned and cooked through, about 15 minutes more.
