MOJO ROAST CHICKEN (POLLO ASADO)
Mojo-marinated roast chicken, just like grandma used to make! Serve with white rice, which is the traditional way. It's also great with mashed potatoes or in sandwiches with Cuban bread or fresh rolls. You can use half the mojo recipe for a smaller bird, drumsticks, or thighs.

Steps:
- Heat the olive oil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat until very hot. While the oil heats, mash the cumin, salt, oregano, and garlic together into a paste in a heat-proof bowl; whisk the hot oil into the paste. Allow the mixture to cool slightly. Add the lime juice and orange juice; stir. Place the chicken in a large sealable bag; pour the marinade over the chicken and shake to assure an even coating. Refrigerate at least 4 hours, up to overnight.
- Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Arrange the marinated chicken in a roasting pan.
- Bake the chicken in the preheated oven until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone should read 180 degrees F (82 degrees C).

- Heat broiler with a rack 6 inches from heat source. On a foil-lined baking sheet drizzle the pineapple chunks and orange quarters with 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat, then broil until charred in spots, 8 to 13 minutes. Transfer fruit to a bowl or plate.
- While fruit is broiling, make the mojo. Place garlic, jalapeño, cilantro, orange zest, lime zest, lime juice, ground cumin, dried oregano, 2 tablespoons olive oil, and 1 teaspoon salt into a food processor and run until a coarse paste forms. Transfer mixture to a large bowl.
- Place the chicken thighs on the same foil-lined baking sheet. The leftover juices from the pineapple and oranges will create a nice, fruity flavor for the chicken. Coat chicken with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and broil until cooked through and charred in spots, 15 to 20 minutes (no need to flip). Once chicken cools slightly, slice chicken.
