Wash and pat dry chicken pieces. Set aside.

Mix together garlic, cumin, lime slices, and sour orange juice. Pour over chicken pieces and mix well so that pieces are saturated. Cover with onion rings and allow to marinate for about 3 hours or longer.

Heat a large skillet and add the oil. When the skillet is heated and the oil begins to smell fragrant, saute onion slices until golden brown. Add pimiento, pepper, and salt. Add chicken and marinade. Cook over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes, then turn over and cook on low heat for another 25 to 30 minutes, or until chicken is completely done.
