"Sheet Pan" Cuban Mojo Chicken and Fingerlings

Ingredients
  

FOR THE GARLIC MOJO MARINADE

  • 1 ½ cups Orange Juice
  • ½ cups Lime Juice
  • ½ cups Extra Virgin Olive Oil + 2 TBS
  • 10 cloves Garlic Minced
  • 2 tbsp Dried Oregano
  • 1 tsp Ground Cumin
  • 1 tsp Sea Salt
  • 1 tsp Black Pepper

FOR THE CHICKEN

  • 8 pcs Bone-In/Skin-on Chicken Pieces
  • 1 large White Onion Sliced into Rings
  • Salt and Pepper

FOR THE FINGERLING POTATOES

  • 1 lb Fingerlings, Sliced in Half (lengthwise)
  • Salt and Pepper

Instructions
 

METHOD

  • In a mixing bowl combine all of the Mojo ingredients and whisk together. Set aside. Season the chicken with salt and pepper on both sides and place in a large mixing bowl. Add the marinade and using your hands toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate 1 to 4 hours or overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 425 F. On a cutting board slice the fingerling potatoes lengthwise and slice the white onion into rings. Add the potatoes and onion to a medium mixing bowl. Add the 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (EVO) and lightly salt and pepper. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and place the chicken skin side up on the baking sheet. Drizzle the marinade over the chicken and roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes. Open the oven and add the potatoes and onions around the sides and nestled in between the chicken and cook for an additional 20-25 minutes. Chicken will be cooked, crisp, and flavorful and the potatoes will be tender and fork friendly. Garnish with orange and lime wheels.
