Asian spiced chicken legs
Background
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
- 4 chicken legs (or 8 thighs/drumsticks)
- 4 tbs olive oil
- 4 tbs honey
- zest and juice of 2 lemons
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 6 green cardamoms
- about 1 Tbsp sesame seeds
Instructions
- 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.
