Ingredients
  

Marinade
  • 1 whole chicken about 3-4 lbs
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon cumin
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon oregano dried
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 lime juice freshly squeezed
  • 1 orange juice freshly squeezed

Method
 

Prepare the Marinade
  1. In a blender, combine olive oil, garlic, cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, black pepper, lime juice, and orange juice. Blend until smooth.
Marinate the Chicken
  1. Place the chicken in a large bowl or resealable bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is well coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.
Roast the Chicken

Rest and Serve
