I have a few leftover stalks of cilantro that would probably go bad in a few days so I decided to chop and add them up in a mojito-key lime-marinade I was making for the chicken. Check out the recipe below. It’s easy to make and it’s delicious.

INGREDIENTS :
- 6-8 pieces of chicken (legs, thighs)
- few stalks of cilantro, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup of Captain Morgan’s Mojito drink
- juice from 8 key limes
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- sprinkle of salt and pepper
Preheat the oven to 365°.
Combine chopped cilantro, Mojito, key lime juice, olive oil, salt and pepper in a bowl.
Place the chicken pieces on a container. Pour the marinade all over the chicken. Toss to coat the meat with the marinade. Cover then store in the fridge to marinate for at least 2-3 hours or overnight.
Bake the chicken in the oven for 40 to 45 minutes.
