Mojo Chicken Wings
Growing up in Florida, "mojo" marinated food was everywhere. And, that is a good thing, because it's really, really good. It's the unofficial marinade of Cuba, and Florida has a huge Cuban population. You will even see mojo flavored rotisserie chicken at the local grocery store.
Mojo is the perfect marinade.
Mojo, it's pretty much the perfect marinade. You simply cannot go wrong with such a heavenly combination of garlic, citrus, and olive oil. While this recipe calls for paleo chicken wings, you can use the marinade on all types of meat.
