• ¼ Bell pepper 

• 9 Cloves garlic crushed 

• ½ Bunch Cilantro

• 1 Teaspoon cumin

• ½ Cup sour orange juice

Making the Cuban Mojo Chicken

Take the ingredients and put them in blender and process till smooth.

Generously salt and pepper the chicken.

Pour the marinade over the chicken, making sure to coat the whole chicken. 

Cover the chicken and let it marinade for at least 1 hour at room temperature, or overnight in the fridge for a little more love and kindness. 

Preheat oven to  425^o F (218^o C).

Slice a large onion and place it on the bottom of the baking dish.

Place chicken on top of the chopped onion and pour in remaining marinade.

Bake for 20 minutes.  Reduce oven to 400^o F (204^o C) and bake 35-45 minutes until the internal temperature in the thigh is 165^o F (74^o C).

Remove from oven, and let rest for 10 minutes before carving.

Serve with rice and black beans and garlic green beans.

Enjoy!
