Instructions

Creating Peruvian Chicken Delight is simple and straightforward if you follow these steps:

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, mix the minced garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper (if using), lime juice, olive oil, cilantro, and oregano.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken thighs and drumsticks to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for deeper flavor.
3. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
4. Prepare the Vegetables: In a large baking dish, arrange the sliced onions and bell peppers evenly on the bottom.
5. Arrange the Chicken: Place the marinated chicken pieces on top of the vegetables, skin side up.
6. Bake: Transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and is golden brown.
7. Baste the Chicken: Halfway through cooking, baste the chicken with the juices in the pan to keep it moist.
8. Check Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is fully cooked.
9. Rest the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
10. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle fresh cilantro on top and serve with lime wedges for an extra burst of flavor.
