MOJO ROAST CHICKEN (POLLO ASADO)
Mojo-marinated roast chicken, just like grandma used to make! Serve with white rice, which is the traditional way. It's also great with mashed potatoes or in sandwiches with Cuban bread or fresh rolls. You can use half the mojo recipe for a smaller bird, drumsticks, or thighs.

Steps:
- Heat the olive oil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat until very hot. While the oil heats, mash the cumin, salt, oregano, and garlic together into a paste in a heat-proof bowl; whisk the hot oil into the paste. Allow the mixture to cool slightly. Add the lime juice and orange juice; stir. Place the chicken in a large sealable bag; pour the marinade over the chicken and shake to assure an even coating. Refrigerate at least 4 hours, up to overnight.
- Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Arrange the marinated chicken in a roasting pan.
- Bake the chicken in the preheated oven until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone should read 180 degrees F (82 degrees C).

SLOW COOKER MOJO CHICKEN
This chicken is fall-off-the-bone tender. Allow enough time to marinate the chicken thighs, the longer the better. I serve the thighs over white rice and spoon some sauce over chicken. I also serve additional sauce on the side.

Steps:
- Combine orange juice, lime juice, olive oil, cilantro, garlic, orange zest, lime zest, oregano, salt, pepper, cumin, and bay leaves in a large resealable bag. Add chicken thighs, coat with marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours or overnight. Flip the bag over occasionally and rub over chicken thighs to evenly distribute marinade.
- Place chicken and marinade in a slow cooker. Cook on Low until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 4 to 5 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

MOJO CHICKEN WITH PINEAPPLE
This simple, bright chicken dinner will transport you to a sunnier place, no matter what color the sky may be where you are. It starts with a citrusy, garlicky Cuban mojo. Instead of marinating the chicken in the mojo before cooking, you marinate it afterward: As the warm, broiled chicken sits in the mojo (for up to an hour), it soaks up the lively flavors.

Steps:
- Pat the chicken dry and season all over with salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Heat the broiler with a rack 6 inches from heat source. On a foil-lined quarter sheet pan (or half sheet pan), drizzle the pineapple chunks and orange quarters with 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat, then broil until charred in spots, 8 to 13 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the mojo: On a cutting board, coarsely chop the garlic and jalapeño. Add the chopped cilantro stems, orange zest, lime zest, dried oregano and 1 teaspoon salt. Chop and smash the mixture until a coarse paste forms. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl, then stir in the lime juice, ground cumin and 2 tablespoons olive oil.
- Transfer the charred fruit to the mojo and transfer the chicken to the sheet pan. Coat with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and broil until cooked through and charred in spots, 15 to 20 minutes (no need to flip).
- Add the cooked chicken to the mojo, pineapple and orange wedges, and toss to coat. Let sit 5 minutes or up to 1 hour. Slice the chicken and serve on a platter, with the sauce poured over top and the charred pineapple and orange wedges alongside. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and sprinkle with cilantro leaves. Squeeze orange wedges over top as desired.

- Place the lemon and lime juice and olive oil in a blender followed by the fresh herbs, 2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Pulse on and off then process until smooth, scraping down if necessary.
- Place chicken thighs in a bowl and season with salt and pepper, using your hands to massage in on all sides. Pour mojo over chicken, reserving about 1/4 cup (60 ml), which you can do by eye. Make sure the chicken is coated on all sides and allow to marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- Place chicken on rimmed sheet-pan, evenly spaced, and roast for about to 30 to 40 minutes or until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part (not touching bone) registers 165°F/74°C. Allow to sit for 5 minutes for juices to redistribute within the chicken. Reserved sauce can be dabbed on top, if desired. Serve with your choice of sides, but we recommend rice or quinoa and a nice steamed green or a big salad. This is great at room temp, too.
