Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine 2 tablespoons canola oil, lemon juice, seasoned salt, dried oregano, ground cumin, garlic powder, chili powder, and paprika. Add crushed red pepper flakes, if desired.
  2. Add chicken to the bowl. Turn to coat completely with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, up to 4 hours.
