Mojo Chicken





  • 10 cloves garlic
  • 6 green onions
  • 1.5 cup orange juice
  • 1/3 cup  lime juice
  • 1/3 cup lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 2 teaspoon dried oregano flakes
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 bunch cilantro
  • 1 cup grapeseed (or your favorite high smoke point) oil
Whiz all ingredients together in a blender. Pour over chicken (fabulous on super cheap chicken leg/thigh quarters) and marinate for 4+ hours. On a hot grill sear over direct heat for 3 minutes per side and then grill at a lower temp/indirect heat until 170 degrees (about 1 hour). Let rest for 10+ minutes. Super fabulously juicy and delicious. Great on corn tortillas with Bobby Flay's Jicima Slaw. Yum!

This marinade made enough to cover big 10 chicken quarters divided into 3 gallon size bags.
