Step 1

Stir oil with cumin, cayenne, lemon juice and salt in a medium bowl.

Add chicken and stir to coat. Cover and marinate for 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.

Step 3

Slice the skin off the oranges and cut into segments, removing any white parts. Chop and place in a bowl.

Stir in oil, salt, pepper and mint leaves. Reserve.

Step 5

Oil grill and preheat to medium high.

Step 6
