Spicy Cuban Roasted Chicken
Tender, juicy chicken with rich spicy flavor, really delicious and easy to make. Instead of chicken thighs you can use chicken breasts. If you can, cook this chicken on the grill, the meat will be even more flavorful or also try in a crock pot (especially if cooking chicken breasts) tender meat is guaranteed! Goes great with a mixed salad, rice, black beans, fried plantain and some citrus drink, such as a mojito. Great recipe with lots of flavor!
