Chef's tip
Use the same weight of boneless chicken thighs and cut them as directed. For thin slices, skewers, stir-fries, or frying, cook to 165°F (74°C). For covered braises, cook about 45 minutes; for a slow cooker, use 3 to 4 hours on low.
1 ½ 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 3 limes)
6 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp fresh oregano leaves, finely chopped
1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
1 tsp ground turmeric
½ tsp ground ginger
½ tsp ceylon cinnamon
3 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

For braising

½ cup bone broth
1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced

For serving

2 tbsp fresh cilantro, roughly chopped (optional)
1 lime, cut into wedges (optional)

Instructions

1
In a medium bowl, whisk together the orange juice, lime juice, garlic, oregano, thyme, turmeric, ginger, Ceylon cinnamon, olive oil, and apple cider vinegar until combined.
2
Pat the pork shoulder dry and rub the salt all over the surface. Place the pork in a large zip-top bag or covered container and pour all of the mojo marinade over it. Seal and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight, turning the bag once halfway through if possible.
