Ingredients

8

8 servings

  • 0.5 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1.5 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1.5 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 3 tablespoons lime juice
  • 3 tablespoons orange juice
  • 1 (6 pound) whole chicken, cut into pieces

Instructions

  • Heat olive oil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat until very hot. Meanwhile, mash cumin, salt, oregano, and garlic together in a heat-proof bowl until a paste forms.
  • Remove oil from the heat and whisk in paste; allow to cool slightly. Stir in lime juice and orange juice.
  • Place chicken into a large resealable bag; pour in marinade and shake until chicken is evenly coated. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Remove chicken from marinade and shake off excess. Discard remaining marinade. Arrange chicken in a roasting pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
