Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup orange juice, 1/4 cup lime juice, 3 tbsp olive oil, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp dried oregano, 1 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper until well combined.
  2. Step 2: Pat dry 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs with paper towels. Place them on a rimmed sheet pan skin side up and brush generously with half of the citrus mojo sauce.
  3. Step 3: Roast chicken in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, then brush the remaining mojo sauce over the thighs. Continue roasting for another 10-15 minutes until the skin is golden and juices run clear when pierced.
  4. Step 4: Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro over the chicken before serving for a fresh, herbal finish.
