Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar, minced garlic, both smoked and sweet paprika, dried oregano, and salt and pepper. Add chopped chili pepper if desired.
- Place chicken pieces in a zip-top bag or glass bowl and pour the marinade over, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Seal or cover, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
- Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat, around 400°F (200°C), about 30 minutes before cooking.
- Remove chicken from marinade, letting excess drip away. Pat with paper towels and place skin-side down on the grill, cooking for 5-6 minutes. Flip and cook for another 5-8 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- Transfer grilled chicken to a platter and let it rest for about 5 minutes. Optionally, garnish with lemon wedges and fresh herbs.

Notes
Allowing the chicken to marinate overnight deepens the flavors. Always grill chicken at medium-high heat for a perfect char and ensure it cooks through to an internal temp of 165°F.
