Asian spiced chicken legs
These Asian spiced chicken legs have a fusion glaze of Indian and Chinese flavours – sweet and sticky, with a twist. If you want it spicy as in hot, just add some chilli flakes or chopped chilli to the marinade. Perfect for midweek family meals, summer parties and even dinner parties!
Ingredients
Method
- Mix the oil with the honey. Add the lemon zest and juice of 1 lemon. Add the garlic.
- Slightly crush the cardamom so the seeds can be exposed.
- Place the chicken in a flat dish and brush them with the glaze. Pour over them the glaze, then sprinkle with the cardamom. Marinate for about 2-4 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 220°C. Take the chicken out of the refrigerator and transfer them to a roasting dish together with the marinade. Season with salt and pepper.
- Put the tin in the oven and reduce the temperature to 190°C. Bake for 35-40 minutes until golden brown, basting the chicken once or twice. After 25 minutes of baking, sprinkle the sesame seeds on top.
- Serve warm with roast vegetables or salad and and a mash or rice.
