Marinade
For Grilling
Method
Preparation
Prepare the Marinade
In a large bowl, combine minced garlic, grated ginger, red chili powder, paprika, ground cumin, vegetable oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Marinate the Poussin
Add the poussin to the marinade, ensuring that each piece is well-coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for more flavor.
Grilling
Prepare the Grill
Soak wood chips in water for at least 30 minutes. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, ensuring one side is hotter for direct grilling and the other side cooler for indirect cooking.
Rest and Serve
Once cooked, remove the poussin from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute for maximum flavor.
