Cosce di pollo al forno

Ingredienti

• 4 whole chicken leg quarters
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon chili flakes
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon garlic, (minced)
• 1 tablespoon ginger, (minced)
• 1 tablespoon parsley, (fresh, finely chopped (for garnish - optional))

Preparazione

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Set aside.

2. 2

   In a bowl, whisk together all of the ingredients with the exception of the chicken and the parsley. Set aside.

3. 3

   Use a sharp knife to score the chicken leg quarters. Lay the chicken flat on a cutting board and slice across the chicken cutting down to the bone. I usually aim for 3 slices on the thigh and 3 more slices on the drumstick portion of the chicken leg quarter.

4. 4

   Position the chicken quarters onto the baking sheet, making sure that none of pieces overlap.

5. 5

   Spoon half of the sauce mixture over the chicken, massaging it into the skin and the cuts you made in the meat earlier.

6. 6

   Place the chicken in oven and bake for 30 minutes.

7. 7

   Remove the chicken from the oven and spoon over the remaining sauce. Bake for 15 more minutes.

8. 8

   Remove from oven, garnish, and serve immediately.
