Categories     Dinner     Entree

Time 5h50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

For the Marinade:
1 orange (zested)
1 lime (zested)
1/2 cup orange juice (fresh)
1/4 cup lime juice (fresh)
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup fresh cilantro (chopped)
6 cloves garlic (smashed)

1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon ground cumin

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • In a large bowl, combine the orange zest, lime zest , orange juice, lime juice, olive oil, cilantro, garlic cloves, jalapeno (if using), oregano, cumin, salt, and black pepper.
  • Place the chicken into the marinade , cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. You can also do this in a large zip-top bag, but be sure to place the bag into a large bowl to safeguard against drips.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 F. Remove the chicken from the marinade and place on a large roasting pan. If you like, tie the legs together with kitchen string and tuck the wing tips under the body to help prevent them from darkening too much.
  • Roast in the oven for approximately 1 1/2 hours, or until the thickest part of the thigh reaches 165 F on a meat thermometer. If the breast starts to get too dark while roasting, cover loosely with a sheet of aluminum foil.

  • Garnish with orange and lime slices (if using) and serve with rice and black beans.
