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).

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of chicken: Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs or breasts are best for this recipe, as they will stay moist and juicy during cooking.
- Make sure your chicken is well-marinated: The marinade is what gives the chicken its flavor, so make sure to let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
- Cook the chicken over medium heat: This will help to prevent the chicken from drying out.
- Baste the chicken frequently: This will help to keep it moist and flavorful.
- Serve the chicken with your favorite sides: Rice, beans, tortillas, and salsa are all great options.
Conclusion:
Chicken asada is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. Whether you are grilling, roasting, or pan-frying your chicken, the key is to use a flavorful marinade and cook the chicken over medium heat. With a little bit of effort, you can easily make chicken asada at home that tastes just as good as your favorite Mexican restaurant.
