2 chickens cut into quarters and with the skin
4 oranges
6 cloves of garlic, sliced
1/4 cup oil

1 tsp smoked red pepper powder
3 bay leaves
1/2 tsp dry ginger powder

Some oil

Directions

First, marinating the chicken. To make the marinate we zest the 4 oranges and then we take their juice and slice the skins as well. We add oil, onions, garlic, red pepper powder, bay leaves, ginger, cinnamon, salt & pepper and we mix very very well till all is combined. We take the chicken pieces and massage it with our marinate just to make sure the mixture reached every part of the chicken even under the skins. We leave our chicken marinating over night and covered by the orange skins.

For the vegetables, we mix all ingredients and also leave it marinating over night but separate from the chicken.

The next day we take the chicken pieces out of the marinate and lay the over the vegetables. With a brush, we brush the chicken pieces with the marinate and put it in the oven to roast on medium heat.

When it's all brown and cooked we take it out of the over and enjooooooooyyyyy the taste :)
