Cuban Mojo Chicken is really easy to make. You make your marinade by adding all the Mojo Sauce ingredients to the blender. You then divide it into two halves. One half of this Mojo sauce will become your chicken marinade and the other half will be the base for the pineapple-avocado salsa.

Once your chicken has marinated, you simply pop it in the oven with some onions and let it cook for 35 minutes, until golden brown. Meanwhile add to the remaining Mojo sauce some chopped avocado, pineapple, and cherry tomatoes to make the fresh pineapple-avocado salsa. That’s it! Easy peasy!

Traditionally, the base of the Cuban Mojo Chicken sauce is a mix of citrus juice, garlic, and olive oil. For this recipe, delicious fresh oranges were used, together with a combination of herbs. The outcome is SO GOOD.

If you haven’t tried marinating chicken in Mojo sauce you are missing out. But we’ve got you covered! By marinating the chicken, you ensure that all these delicious flavors and aromas from the orange juice, herbs, and spices are infused into the chicken.

Ideally, you want to aim to marinate your chicken for three hours in the refrigerator. The more time you allow the chicken to marinate the more intense and flavorful your chicken will be. You will need a bit of patience and to plan a little ahead, but trust me, it’s SO worth it! If you are running short on time, try to at least get a good 20 minutes.
