Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Prepare the marinade by combining olive oil, soy sauce, paprika, adobo all-purpose seasoning, and a little turmeric.

Lift the skin of the chicken and apply the marinade under the skin.

Let the chicken marinate for a couple of hours.

In a pan, add chopped onion, red and green bell peppers, thyme, rosemary, hot pepper, and garlic.

Add the garlic to the pan and crush it.

Pour orange juice into a bowl and add soy sauce, sesame seed oil, ginger, brown sugar, and vinegar to make the sauce.

Allow the sauce to boil and simmer down on low heat.

After marinating, place the chicken in the oven and cook at 350°F for 1 hour.

Check the sauce; it should be nice and sticky.

Increase the oven temperature to 400°F and cover the chicken, cooking for an additional 10-15 minutes to allow the sauce to stick to the chicken.
