Mojo chicken and physics

- Mojo chicken thighs
- White rice
- Spicy fried corn and broccoli
I started the chicken marinating last night. I put it in the oven at 425F for about twenty-five minutes, turning it over halfway through. I put enough marinade in the pan with the thighs that they were almost half-poached. I wanted to have some vegetables with my dinner so I found a recipe for spicy fried corn and modified it.
This dinner is amazing. The chicken tasted so tart and flavorful. I'm so glad I went with white rice instead of yellow because that would have been too many flavors. I'm never letting something sit in a mojo marinade for any time shorter than 24 hours now. This was too perfect to settle for less. The vegetables are hella spicy, too. It's really excellent. I've already packed up a lunch of leftovers to take to campus tomorrow. Next time I make these vegetables I'll either tone down the chipotle or mix it with the white rice. It needs something to cut the fieriness.
Now I am profoundly stuffed and I'm going to go lay down and work on physics.
