Ingredients 

Main Ingredients

  • 1 whole chicken about 3-4 pounds
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • ¼ cup lime juice freshly squeezed
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions 

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, lime juice, olive oil, garlic, cumin, paprika, oregano, black pepper, and salt.
  2. Place the chicken in a large resealable bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Make sure the chicken is well coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
  4. Remove the chicken from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Discard the marinade.
  5. Grill the chicken, turning occasionally, until the skin is crispy and the meat is cooked through, about 45-60 minutes. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  6. Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before carving. Serve with your favorite sides.
