Step 1: Prepare the Marinade

• In a large mixing bowl, combine lime juice, orange juice, olive oil, minced garlic, and all the spices (cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, oregano, salt, and pepper). Whisk until well blended.

Step 2: Marinate the Chicken

• Place the chicken pieces in a resealable bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are coated evenly.

Step 3: Refrigerate and Rest

• Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, but for the best flavor, aim for 4–6 hours. Avoid marinating for longer than 12 hours to prevent the citrus from breaking down the chicken excessively.

Step 4: Preheat the Grill

• Heat your grill to medium-high heat (around 200–220°C or 400–450°F). Clean and oil the grates to prevent sticking.

Step 5: Grill the Chicken

• Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Grill the chicken for 6–8 minutes per side, depending on thickness, or until the internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F).

Step 6: Rest and Serve

• Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring tender and juicy meat.
