- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika

- Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
- Serve the extra spicy chipotle marinated grilled chicken with your favorite sides and enjoy!
The Spicy Chipotle Marinated Grilled Chicken with extra spicy seasoning has a rich history rooted in the vibrant flavors of Mexican cuisine. This dish originated in the heart of Mexico, where skilled chefs combined traditional marinating techniques with the bold heat of chipotle peppers to create a fiery and flavorful dish. Over time, it gained popularity in Tex-Mex restaurants across the United States, where chefs added their own twist by incorporating extra spicy seasoning for an added kick. Today, the best versions of this dish can be found in authentic Mexican eateries, where the key lies in the perfect balance of smoky chipotle, fiery spices, and expert grilling techniques. For a famous alternative method, some chefs recommend slow-cooking the marinated chicken for an even more tender and flavorful result. Whether enjoyed in a bustling Mexican restaurant or homemade with care, this dish is a celebration of bold flavors and culinary creativity.
