Ingredients
The following ingredients have 8 Servings
- 1/3 cup (75 ml) freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1/3 cup (75 ml) freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) Garlic-Infused Oil, made with olive oil or plain extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
- 1/2 cup chopped flat leaf parsley
- 1/2 cup chopped scallions, (green parts only)
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt, (plus extra)
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, (plus extra)
- 8 medium chicken thighs, (bone-in, skin-on)
Instruction
- Place the lemon and lime juice and olive oil in a blender followed by the fresh herbs, 2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Pulse on and off then process until smooth, scraping down if necessary.
- Place chicken thighs in a bowl and season with salt and pepper, using your hands to massage in on all sides. Pour mojo over chicken, reserving about 1/4 cup (60 ml), which you can do by eye. Make sure the chicken is coated on all sides and allow to marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, position rack in upper third of oven. Preheat oven to 375°F/190°C.
- Place chicken on rimmed sheet-pan, evenly spaced, and roast for about to 30 to 40 minutes or until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part (not touching bone) registers 165°F/74°C. Allow to sit for 5 minutes for juices to redistribute within the chicken. Reserved sauce can be dabbed on top, if desired. Serve with your choice of sides, but we recommend rice or quinoa and a nice steamed green or a big salad. This is great at room temp, too.
