Prickly Pear Chicken

• Marinade:
• 6 chile peppers, minced
• 2 limes, juiced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 1/2 orange, juiced, divided
• 3 tablespoons molasses
• 2 prickly pears, washed with spines removed
• 4 chicken legs
• 4 chicken thighs
• 2 potatoes, chopped
• 1/2 cup peeled and cubed turnips
• 5 large mushrooms, chopped

1. Combine chile peppers, lime juice, and garlic in a bowl. Add 1/4 cup orange juice and molasses; stir until marinade is combined.
2. Shred the prickly pears in a food processor; mix into marinade.
3. Place chicken legs, chicken thighs, potatoes, turnips, and mushrooms in a baking pan; pour in marinade and remaining orange juice. Refrigerate until flavors combine, 1 to 8 hours.
4. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
5. Bake chicken in preheated oven until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
