Instructions
In a large bowl, mix together olive oil, orange and lemon juices, annatto powder, cumin powder, dried oregano, paprika, sea salt, ground black pepper, and crushed garlic to make the marinade.
Put the chicken in the bowl and massage the marinade thoroughly all over.
Securely cover the bowl using cling wrap and refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours.
After marinating, lift the chicken out of the bowl, shaking off the extra marinade and garlic bits.
Position the chicken skin-side up on a roasting rack placed over a baking sheet.
Lightly drizzle the chicken with around a tablespoon of olive oil.
Start roasting in a preheated oven at 435°F (220°C) for the first 15 minutes.
Adjust the oven setting to 350°F (175°C) and keep roasting for an additional 45 minutes. During this period, baste the chicken using the juices from the pan every 15 minutes.
The chicken is ready when its internal temperature reads 165°F (75°C). Transfer it to a cutting board and let it sit for about 10 minutes before slicing.
