Grilled Chicken Recipe (en-US)
Ingredients: 1.5–2 lb (680–900 g) chicken (breasts, thighs, or a mix), 2–3 tbsp olive oil, 3–4 tbsp lemon juice or vinegar, 3–5 cloves garlic (minced), 1–2 tbsp paprika, 1 tsp dried oregano, 1 tsp salt (plus more to taste), 1/2 tsp black pepper, optional: 1/2 tsp chili powder or red pepper flakes. Marinate: Combine oil, lemon juice, garlic, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Coat chicken and marinate 30 minutes to overnight in the refrigerator. Grill: Preheat grill to medium-high (about 400–450°F / 205–230°C). Oil the grates. Grill chicken with the lid closed as much as possible. Cook until done, flipping once or twice: breasts typically 6–8 minutes per side (thickness varies), thighs about 7–10 minutes per side. Use a meat thermometer—safe internal temperature is 165°F (74°C). Rest 5 minutes before slicing.

Quick Tips for Juicy Results
For even cooking, pound thicker pieces to a similar thickness. Avoid frequent flipping—let each side develop color. If flare-ups occur, move chicken to a cooler zone and continue cooking. If using a sugary marinade, watch closely to prevent burning; you can reduce sugar or add it later.

Serving Ideas
Serve with grilled vegetables, a fresh salad, rice, or warm tortillas. Optional finishing touches: brush with a little olive oil or a squeeze of lemon right after grilling, and top with chopped herbs (parsley/cilantro).
