Scale

Bone-in Chicken Thighs

4 cloves Garlic, minced

Juice of 2 Limes

Juice of 1 Orange

1 tsp Cumin

1 tbsp Oregano

1/4 cup Olive Oil

Salt to taste

Black Pepper to taste

Prepare the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine lime juice, orange juice, minced garlic, cumin, oregano, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well blended.
Marinate the Chicken: Place chicken thighs in a zip-lock bag or bowl. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Seal the bag or cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, up to overnight.
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Roast the Chicken: Place marinated chicken thighs on a lined baking sheet. Drizzle a bit more olive oil on top and roast for 35-40 minutes, or until cooked through and golden brown.
Rest Before Serving: Let the chicken rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.

For a leaner option, use skinless thigh; for a vegan alternative, swap chicken for tofu or tempeh.
