Cooking the dish according to the recipe:
- Preheat oven to 200°C.
- In a large bowl, combine 3 tablespoons garlic, 2 teaspoons each cumin and oregano, orange zest, 2 tablespoons each orange juice and vinegar, and 3 tablespoons olive oil. Add the chicken and toss to coat.
- Remove the chicken from the bowl (with as many seasonings as possible) and sprinkle with salt and black pepper; transfer it skin-side up to a rack set over a baking sheet. Roast until the skin is golden brown and crispy and a thermometer inserted into the center of the thigh registers 165°F (74°C), 30 to 35 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cook the rice. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion, the remaining 1 tablespoon garlic, 1 teaspoon each of cumin, oregano, salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Cook, stirring, until the onion is translucent, 2-3 minutes. Add the rice, beans, and 1 1/2 cups water. Bring to a boil, then stir, reduce heat, and simmer until the rice begins to absorb the liquid, 8-10 minutes.
- Mix the rice and beans together, smoothing the surface. Reduce heat to low, cover tightly, and simmer until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender, 25 minutes.
- Uncover the rice, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vinegar, and stir with a fork to loosen the mixture. Serve the chicken with rice.
