4 servings
For the chicken
- 3 lbs bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs and drumsticks (about 8 pieces)
- 1 tsp fine sea salt
For the mojo marinade
- ¾ cup fresh orange juice (from about 2 large oranges)
Ingredient noteLow Residue diets limit fruit juices with pulp, but even juice with some pulp holds far less fiber than whole fruit, and the orange juice comes to a modest amount per serving, so it is likely Low Residue. If you prefer to always avoid orange juice, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- ¼ cup fresh lime juice (from about 2 limes)
Ingredient noteLow Residue diets limit fruit juices with pulp, but juice carries only a trace of the fruit's fiber, and just a small amount of lime juice is used here, so it is likely Low Residue. If you prefer to always avoid lime juice, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 6 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp ground turmeric
- ½ tsp ground ginger
Ingredient noteLow residue diets limit seeds and coarse spices. Only a trace of ground ground ginger is likely Low Residue. If you prefer to always avoid ground ginger, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- 1 tsp fine sea salt
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
For serving
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, roughly chopped (optional)
- 1 lime, cut into wedges (optional)
Can be omittedlime
