This mouthwatering Cuban-style chicken recipe was inspired by a popular Florida take-out spot and perfected over time by my mom! Serve with rice and peas, or roast potatoes.

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

2 (8 ounce) bone-in chicken breasts, cut in half
2 bone-in chicken thighs
2 chicken drumsticks
1 onion, chopped
¾ cup fresh lemon juice
¼ cup Worcestershire sauce
1 ½ tablespoons minced garlic
¾ teaspoon ground allspice
½ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon ground cumin
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
salt and ground black pepper to taste
cooking spray
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Directions

Place chicken pieces in a large bowl. Add onion, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, allspice, onion powder, cumin, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Stir to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour, or overnight.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Heat oil in a large skillet. Add chicken pieces, reserving marinade in the bowl. Pan-fry chicken until browned, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer to the prepared baking dish. Pour reserved marinade on top.
Bake in the preheated oven until juices run clear, about 40 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of chicken pieces should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
