Simple Spicy Oven Baked Chicken Legs

Ingredients

4 kg chicken legs

87g of garlic {peeled}

3 scotch bonnet

1 tablespoon salt

6 chicken knorr cubes

2 tablespoon seaseme oil

1 tablespoon olive oil

4 tablespoon dark soy sauce 

1 tablespoon barbecue sauce

1 tablespoon dry rosemary 

1 tablespoon dry powdered garlic 

229g of ginger {peel and cut into smaller chunks} 

3 bell pepper  - red, yellow and green {cored and roughly chopped}

Procedures

Add all the ingredients into a food processor except for the powdered garlic. Blend until combined properly.

Make 3 large incisions on each chicken leg. Put all of them into a big bowl or a big pot, sprinkle the powdered garlic on them and rub them into each leg.

Empty the content of the food processor on the chicken legs, turn the legs just to ensure that the marinade gets to all of them.

Cover with a cling film, leave in the fridge over night but if you want to bake immediately, leave in the fridge for atleast 2 hours.

Baking Process

Turn on the oven to 160 degrees

Arrange the marinated legs on a baking tray, sprinkle a tablespoon of hot liquid seasoning {maggi brand} on the legs.

Cover with a foil, pop into the oven. Bake 45 minutes to an hour.

 Check on the chicken, remove the foil and then turn up the gas to 200 degrees.

Bake for 15-20 minutes, so as to achieve that crispy dry burnt chicken skin.

Serve Hot!

***NOTE: You can always reduce the quantity of each ingredient used, if you are making this to serve for 2-3 people. But if you are having visitors over, these quantities are just perfect***

You can see the chicken legs in the red serving dish and I still had plenty in the oven, some of which my guests took home. I love taking care of my friends.
