Creating Easy Cuban Mojo Chicken Thighs is straightforward. Follow these simple steps to bring this amazing dish to life:

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, combine lime juice, orange juice, minced garlic, cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Whisk in the olive oil until well mixed.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Place chicken thighs in a large resealable bag or dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or overnight for best results).
3. Preheat the Oven: When ready to cook, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
4. Prepare for Baking: Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup. Discard the leftover marinade.
5. Bake the Chicken: Bake the chicken thighs in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is crispy.
6. Broil for Crispiness: For an extra crispy skin, switch to broil for an additional 2-3 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
7. Rest the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for about 5 minutes before serving. This helps retain the juices.
8. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle chopped cilantro over the chicken before serving for a fresh, vibrant touch.
