Add salt and mix it until all the thighs are coated. Mix the paprika, cumin, nutmeg, cloves, cinnamon and black pepper in a bowl. Add the lime, orange and pineapple juice. Mix well. Pour the juice into the bowl with the chicken and mix well with your hands. Try and coat all of the thighs evenly. Transfer the chicken into a zip bag and pour the marinade on the chicken. Add the jalapeño and the garlic cloves. Fold the bag to take the air out and zip it. Massage the chicken in the marinade and refrigerate overnight. THE NEXT DAY - Heat your oven at 400F (200C). Remove the chicken from the marinade, shaking off the excess. Get rid of the marinade. Let the chicken sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes until it is no longer cold. Add a little oil into an oven proof frying pan (if you do not have one you will have to start in a frying pan and then transfer to a baking sheet or casserole dish) — until the pan is very hot. Sear the chicken on both sides, for about 3 minutes per side, until nicely browned. Cover the pan and place in the oven for 30 minutes. Remove the lid and cook for another 10 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and cover again. Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before cutting into it. This chicken is great for tacos or on it’s own with some rice and beans. Enjoy!
