Ingredients
- 8 pieces Chicken drumsticks, skinless
- 3 tablespoons Low sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons White vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine the soy sauce, white vinegar, lime juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, paprika, dried oregano, black pepper, and salt. Mix well to form the marinade.
Step 2
Add the skinless chicken drumsticks to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight for maximum flavor.
Step 3
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly brush the grill grates with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Step 4
Place the marinated chicken drumsticks on the grill. Cook for approximately 20 minutes on each side, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking and to achieve a slightly charred appearance.
Step 5
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
Step 6
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 7
Serve the Low Fat Pollo a la Brasa with a side of fresh salad or steamed vegetables to complete the meal.
