Ingredients

Mojo Sauce

  • 1 ½ cups fresh orange juice
  • ½ cup fresh lemon juice
  • ½ cup fresh lime juice
  • ½ cup fresh oregano coarsely chopped
  • cup corn or vegetable oil
  • 10 garlic cloves minced
  • 3 jalapeños sliced into rounds
  • 1 ½ teaspoon kosher salt

For the Sheet Pan Recipe

  • 2 lb chicken thighs
  • 1 cup mojo marinade
  • 1 large onion sliced into thin strips
  • 2 bell peppers sliced into thin strips

Instructions

  • In a blender combine all the mojo marinade ingredients and blend until smooth.
  • In a large bowl or ziploc bag, add chicken and marinade and let marinate 2 hours to overnight.
  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees, and place sheet pan lined with aluminum foil in oven.
  • Remove chicken and pat dry with a paper towel.
  • Add sliced vegetables to marinade.
  • Place chicken, fat side down, onto hot sheet pan lined with aluminum foil.
  • Cook for 25 minutes, until fat starts to render.
  • Flip chicken so fat side is up, and add vegetables to pan with marinade.
  • Cook another 20 minutes, until internal temp reaches 155 degrees, and turn broiler to high (make sure chicken is on middle rack, it is easier to prevent burning this way)
  • Let broil 3-6 minutes, until chicken skin is extra crispy and crunchy - watch CLOSELY so vegetables don't burn!
  • If mojo marinade has largely evaporated, you can add more during the cooking process - just 1/4 cup at a time, so your chicken doesn't boil in the extra marinade.
