Chef's tip
Season to taste - salt substitutes can taste bitter in larger amounts, so start with less.

For the mojo marinade

¾ cup fresh orange juice (from about 2 large oranges)
¼ cup fresh lime juice (from about 2 limes)
¼ cup olive oil
6 cloves garlic, finely minced
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp ground turmeric
½ tsp ground ginger

Instructions

1
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the orange juice, lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, turmeric, ground ginger, 1 tsp salt, and apple cider vinegar until combined.

Reserve 1/3 cup of the mojo marinade in a small saucepan and set aside — this portion will be used as a finishing sauce and must not contact the raw chicken.
