Mojo Chicken
Ingredients
| 1 whole | Whole chicken (cut into 8-10 pieces) | |
| 2 cups | 480 ml | Mojo marinade (one recipe, link below; make extra to serve later if desired) |
| 1 | Yellow onion (large, sliced into 1/2" rounds) | |
| 2 Tbsp | 30 ml | Italian parsley (chopped, or cilantro) |
| 2 | Limes (cut into wedges) |
Instructions
Spread the chicken pieces in a baking dish. Pour in the mojo marinade. Rub each piece with the marinade really well, lifting the skin and getting the marinade underneath. Marinate in the fridge for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
Preheat the oven to 375F. Scatter the onion slices all over the bottom of a roasting pan, then arrange the chicken pieces on top, skin side up. Pour the marinade all over the chicken pieces and onions. Roast for about 60 to 75 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the chicken is cooked through. Rotate the baking dish after about 40 minutes to ensure even browning.
Remove the chicken pieces from the roasting pan and transfer to a serving platter. Add a little more fresh mojo marinade, if you have any, to wake up the flavors. Stir the pan juices and pour them over the chicken pieces. Garnish with chopped parsley or cilantro and lime wedges and serve.
