This is from a recent book by Jenny Rosentrach that I got from the library.
Café Chicken
This marinade makes enough for 4 pounds of chicken, which sounds like a lot, but works out to about three or pieces each for four people, with some leftovers for lunch, snack, picnics, whatever. The cafe only sells legs, but we think it’s also delicious with thighs.
½ cup good quality soy sauce
¼ cup fresh squeezed orange juice
2 lemons, juiced
2 tablespoon honey
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon mild smoked paprika
2 teaspoons ground cumin
½ cup olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
4 pounds chicken legs and thighs
Place all ingredients except the olive oil, s & p, and chicken into the bowl of a blender. Puree for 30 seconds on high.
With the motor running, slowly add the oil. Season well with salt and pepper. Pour marinade over chicken and marinate for 24 hours in the refrigerator. In a 400°F oven, roast legs in a roasting pan or on a cookie sheet for 40-45 minutes, or until nicely browned and cooked through. Serve hot, room temp, or cold. (We like cold best.)
