MOJO ROAST CHICKEN (POLLO ASADO)
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).

CANARY ISLAND STYLE POLLO EN ADOBO
One of the most popular ways to serve chicken in the Canary Islands is in Adobo. Adobo is as varied as there are chefs, but the basic ingredients are the same. Feel free to play with the quantities of the ingredients! Cooking is a creative endeavor! Prep time does not include marinating time, so be sure to allow for that.

Steps:
- Using a mortar and pestle, mash garlic and salt, then add paprika, oregano, thyme, pepper, if using and olive oil.
- Add wine and combine well.
- Coat chicken with marinade, and refrigerate several hours.
- Heat oil over medium heat in a skillet.
- Fry chicken pieces until cooked through-about 20 minutes, lowering heat to medium low after chicken initially sears.
- This can be made with boneless, skinless breasts--just reduce cooking time accordingly.
- This can also be made on the grill-the flavor will be even better!
POLLO EN MOJO (WELL SORT OF)
This is another popular way chicken is served in the Canary Islands. Each bar has their own recipe, but the basics are the same. Of course I have a cookbook that is solely variations of "mojo" sauce in the Canaries...that will give you an idea of how much variation there is for "mojo!" I hope you enjoy the recipe as much as we do! Prep time does not include marinating time, so be sure to allow for that.

Steps:
- Using a mortar and pestle, mash garlic and salt until creamy.
- Add cayenne peppers and cumin seeds and continue to mash.
- Add paprika and mix.
- Add oil and mix, then add vinegar and mix again.
- Marinate chicken for 2-3 hours in the refrigerator.
- (I have made the recipe until this point and frozen the raw chicken-- when you thaw it, it will be even tastier than marinating in the fridge, after thawing, prepare as follows) Heat a small amount of oil over medium high heat.
- Fry chicken pieces until cooked through-- for bone-in, about 20 minutes or so, for boneless skinless breasts, about 15 minutes.
- May also be done on the grill.
