Instructions

In a bowl, mix soy sauce, olive oil, vinegar, lime juice, garlic, paprika, cumin, sugar, pepper, salt, oregano, and turmeric to create the marinade.
Place the spatchcocked chicken in a large resealable bag or dish and pour the marinade over it. Ensure the chicken is well-coated.
Marinate the chicken in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it skin-side down on the grill.
Grill the chicken for about 10-15 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is nicely charred.
Remove from grill and let rest for 5 minutes before cutting.
Serve with your favorite sides and green sauce if desired.

Notes

Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken is cooked through.
Can also be roasted in the oven at 425°F (220°C) for about 45-50 minutes.
Pairs well with Aji Verde (Peruvian green sauce).
