Introduce the chinchulín, beef kidney, and molleja as the main ingredients.

Explain how to choose good chinchulín at the butcher, looking for white fat and a tolerable smell.

Demonstrate cleaning the chinchulín by rinsing it under cold water with lemon juice.

Show two techniques for preparing chinchulín: trenzado (braided) and rueda (round).

For the trenzado, tie a knot at one end and braid it using fingers to keep it moist during grilling.

For the rueda, cut the chinchulín into pieces about 30 centimeters long and form a circle.

Discuss marinating the chinchulín with pimentón, aji molido, and olive oil for a few hours before grilling.

Explain that the rueda will be crunchier than the trenzado due to its continuous surface.

Preheat the grill to a medium temperature, testing by holding a hand above it and counting to 12 before it feels hot.

Place the chinchulín on the grill, cooking for about 25-30 minutes before flipping, then another 20 minutes.

Add lemon juice to the chinchulín after grilling for extra flavor.
