It’s the time of year we fire up the grill and “get our mojo on.” \u00a0Let’s do it Cuban style, with some Grilled Mojo Chicken! \u00a0It’s a fantastic change from traditional all-American barbecued chicken.<\/p>\n

In Cuban cooking, <\/span>mojo<\/i> applies to any sauce that is made with garlic, olive oil, and a citrus juice, traditionally <\/span>bitter orange juice. \u00a0 We added in a few more goodies to our marinade, but you make it super plain if you like. \u00a0Consider trying it also with pork roast or tenderloin too. \u00a0It makes a amazing sandwich!<\/span><\/p>\n

My mom has a beautiful citrus grove on a hillside in Southern California. \u00a0I used her organic fruit, combining grapefruit, orange, and tangelo juices for my marinade. \u00a0I often add lime in there too.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I like to let my mojo chicken marinade all day or overnight, for a light and lively citrus flavor. \u00a0It’s not heavy or spicy, but you can kick up the heat, by adding some fresh chopped chiles to the mix. \u00a0We throw it on the grill with some fresh pineapple and then serve it with a light, Mojo Red Cabbage Slaw<\/a><\/strong> for a simple tasteful meal. \u00a0Seriously, it’s the juiciest chicken ever!<\/p>\n

For the marinade: \u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
