Instructions

Make a marinade: In a food processor, combine ¾ cup cranberries, rosemary, garlic, orange zest, orange, sugar, avocado oil, soy sauce, salt, and black pepper. Process until pureed. Give it a taste to check if the marinade needs more salt.
Marinate the chicken: Add chicken to a large bowl and coat it with a marinade. Put it in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
Bake: Preheat the oven to 375 F. Arrange chicken pieces in a large baking dish with the marinade. Sprinkle with the remaining cranberries. Bake for 45-50 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 185 F and the chicken is nice and golden brown.
Serve: Remove from the oven and serve immediately over mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta.

Notes

Preheat the oven before you start marinating the chicken. This will give the oven enough time to reach the right temperature and ensure even cooking.
When marinating the chicken, make sure to coat it thoroughly with the marinade and then let it sit in the fridge for at least 1 hour. This allows the flavors to penetrate the meat and makes it more tender.
To achieve a crispy chicken skin, brush the chicken with the oily part of the marinade a few times throughout baking.
Serve the chicken immediately after it's done. This dish goes great with mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta.
