Combine ingredients in a medium bowl. Whisk to combine.
Alternatively, you can add to a mason jar. Seal tightly with lid and then shake to combine.
Pour over your chicken or pork and let marinate for 30 minutes.
Cook however you like – we love grilling chicken thighs with this to make Mojo Chicken!

Notes

Orange Juice Concentrate: we love using a bit of orange juice concentrate in recipes to really amp up that orange flavor! You will find it in the freezer section of your grocery store!
Marinate Time: since there is so much citrus in this marinade we wouldn’t recommend marinating more than about 30 minutes as the citrus will start to cook the chicken and will change the texture (and not in a good way!).
