Ingredients

• 1 cup fresh lemon juice
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 4 bone-in chicken breast halves
• 2 tablespoons hot chili powder
• 1.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 cup paprika
• 1.5 teaspoons chopped fresh ginger

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Stir together lemon juice, paprika, chili powder, garlic, ginger, and salt in a large bowl until well combined. Add chicken; rub until well coated and marinate in the refrigerator for 3 hours.

Step 2

Preheat a grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grates.

Step 3

Place chicken onto the preheated grill; discard marinade. Cook, turning occasionally, until skins are slightly charred and the juices run clear, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of chicken should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
