Marinate the chicken with garlic, cumin, paprika, black pepper, lime juice, olive oil, and salt for at least 1 hour.

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

Place the marinated chicken on the grill, cooking for about 45-60 minutes, turning occasionally until fully cooked and golden brown.

While the chicken is grilling, prepare the green sauce by blending cilantro, jalapeño, mayonnaise, sour cream, green onions, vinegar, and salt until smooth.

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more lime juice or salt if desired.

Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes before carving.

Serve the carved chicken with the green sauce on the side.
