Preparation

To make marinade, using a mortar and pestle, grind garlic, chilli and 1 tsp salt to a fine paste. Stir in orange zest and juice, lime juice, oregano, cumin and oil.
Using a sharp knife, score chicken, then place in a single layer in a baking dish. Rub chicken with marinade until well coated. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
Heat a barbecue or chargrill pan over medium heat. Drain and discard marinade. Cook chicken, turning occasionally, for 25 minutes or until cooked through. (It will blacken slightly due to the orange juice.)
Serve chicken hot or cold with lime and orange wedges, and black beans and rice.
