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)
- ¼ cup fresh lime juice (from about 2 limes)
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 6 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 1 tsp dried oregano
Ingredient noteHerbs and spices can carry nickel, so a low nickel diet limits them, but the small amount of oregano used to season this recipe is likely fine. If you prefer to always avoid oregano, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- 1 tsp ground turmeric
- ½ tsp ground ginger
- 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)
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.
