Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Grilled Paprika Chicken.
Step 1
In a spacious mixing bowl, combine yogurt, crushed garlic, three tablespoons of paprika, two tablespoons of olive oil, one tablespoon of hot chile paste, and a dash of cayenne pepper.
Step 2
Whisk these ingredients together until they form a smooth marinade.
Step 3
Add the chicken pieces, ensuring each one is thoroughly coated in the flavorful mixture.
Step 4
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for three hours, allowing the spices to infuse the chicken with rich flavor.
Step 5
As the marinating time nears its end, preheat your outdoor grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grill grate to prevent sticking.
Step 6
Once the chicken has marinated, remove it from the bowl and place it on a plate lined with paper towels.
Step 7
Gently pat the chicken dry with additional paper towels and season with salt to enhance its flavor.
Step 8
In a separate small bowl, whisk together a quarter cup of olive oil, sherry vinegar, ketchup, an eighth teaspoon of hot chile paste, a pinch of paprika, and salt and pepper to taste.
Step 9
Set this zesty mixture aside for later.
Step 10
Now, place the chicken on the preheated grill, skin-side down, and grill for about four minutes with the lid closed, allowing the heat to work its magic.
Step 11
Flip the chicken pieces and continue grilling with the lid closed until they are beautifully browned and the meat is no longer pink in the center, which should take around six more minutes.
Step 12
To ensure perfect doneness, an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh should read 180°F (82°C).
Step 13
Once the chicken is cooked to perfection, drizzle the sherry vinegar mixture over the grilled chicken and serve immediately, savoring the delightful blend of flavors that will transport your taste buds to a summer barbecue paradise.
