Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken drumsticks
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 3 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 6 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 2 teaspoon oregano
  • 2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro (packed)
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley
  • 2 jalapeños (seeds removed for less heat)
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, lime juice, garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken thighs and drumsticks, ensuring they’re evenly coated with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 24 hours for the best flavor absorption.

2. Preheat your oven to 400°F and arrange the marinated chicken on a baking sheet or in a roasting pan. Roast the chicken for 35-45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the skin is crispy and golden brown.

3. While the chicken is roasting, prepare the Creamy Green Sauce. In a blender or food processor, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, cilantro, parsley, jalapeños, garlic, lime juice, olive oil, and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy.

Notes

This dish pairs beautifully with fluffy white rice, roasted or grilled vegetables, or a fresh salad. It can also be served over creamy mashed potatoes or buttery garlic mashed cauliflower.
