Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- In a blender, combine the lemon juice and zest, lime juice and zest, garlic cloves, olive oil, red wine vinegar, Serrano chilli peppers, red pepper and parsley. Blend until smooth.
- Pour the mixture over the chicken in a large bowl and make sure to coat it evenly. Season with smoked paprika, black pepper and kosher salt.
- Place the chicken onto a baking sheet lined with foil or parchment paper then add any remaining marinade from the bowl on top of the chicken.
- Bake in a preheated oven for 50-60 minutes or until completely cooked through. Chicken should be 165 degrees Fahrenheit when tested with a meat thermometer.
- Let the chicken cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
• You can marinate the chicken overnight in the refrigerator if you have time. This will deepen the flavour and make it even juicier and more flavorful.
• If you’d like to reduce some of the spice from the Serrano peppers, you can remove their seeds prior to blending them into the marinade.
