Roasted turkey legs
Ingredients
-
Chicken leg (1, about 0.2 - 0.5 kg)
-
Olive oil (30 - 40 ml)
-
Salt (8 - 10 g)
-
Black pepper (4 - 5 g)
-
Garlic (4 - 5 cloves, about 15 - 20 g, minced)
-
Rosemary (2 - 3 branches, either fresh or dried rosemary can be used)
-
Orange (1, for juice and zest)
-
Honey (20 - 30 ml, for basting)
-
Red currants (an appropriate amount, for decoration)
Instructions
-
Wash the chicken legs and pat dry with paper towels. Make a few cuts on the surface of the chicken legs to make it easier to season.
-
Mix olive oil, salt, black pepper, minced garlic, rosemary, Green tea powder barbecue seasoning, orange juice and orange zest in a bowl and mix well.
-
Place the chicken legs in the marinade and make sure the chicken legs are evenly coated with the marinade. You can put the chicken legs and marinade in a plastic bag, seal it, and marinate in the refrigerator for 3-4 hours, or marinate overnight for better flavor.
-
Preheat the oven to 200-220°C.
-
Line a baking sheet with tin foil and brush a thin layer of oil on the tin foil.
-
Place the marinated chicken legs on the baking sheet and place in the preheated oven.
-
Bake for 30-40 minutes, then remove the chicken, brush a layer of honey on the surface of the chicken, and continue to bake for 20-30 minutes. During the roasting process, pay attention to the color of the chicken. When the surface of the chicken is attractively golden and the inside is cooked (you can insert a toothpick into the thickest part of the chicken. When there is no blood on the toothpick after pulling it out, it is cooked), take it out and set aside.
-
Place the roasted chicken on a plate and cut it.
-
Decorate with orange slices and red currants.
