Whole Mojo Chicken

This is so, so good and it will make your house smell delish!!!

The chicken recipe is from Florida Coastal Cooking, they grill it, if you want to see the directions on grilling it go here.

Ingredients

1 whole chicken (4-5lbs) OR you could just use chicken breasts/tenders or whatever you have.

1 bottle Mojo (or you can make your own but I used Goya brand)

1 lime

Sea salt, fresh ground pepper, garlic powder

Olive oil

Directions

Cut the backbone of the chicken out using kitchen scissors and gently pull the skin off, pull any giblets out-if they are included in your chicken.  There may be some spots you will need to use the scissors for this as well.  

***To cut the backbone of the chicken out, simply place the chicken breast side down on a cutting board. Place your kitchen scissors as close to the backbone as possible and cut along the line about 1/3 the way down.  Do the same on the other side; alternating sides until the backbone is completely removed. 

Pour the marinade in a large bowl and gently add the chicken, turn to coat.  Zest some of the lime over the marinade and chicken, quarter the lime, squeeze the juice and throw the entire lime in there.  Marinate for 1 hour or longer (the longer the better!).

 

To cook in the oven, place the chicken on a rack on a tin foil-lined baking sheet.  Put the limes from the marinade inside the chicken while it bakes. Bake at 375 for 1 hour and 15 minutes (or whatever the instructions on your chicken say). Cut and if juices run clear it's done! You can also check with a thermometer, it should say on the package what temp it's finished.
