Ingredients
Steps
-
Prepare ingredients: chicken legs: 4-5 pieces, clean them and drain them.
-
Prepare sauces: Orleans barbecue sauce (available in supermarkets): 150g, sweet noodle sauce: 50g, soy sauce: 1 tablespoon, honey: 2 tablespoons, salt: 5g, pepper: appropriate amount, cooking wine: appropriate amount, stir these sauces evenly. Scallions: appropriate amount, ginger slices: appropriate amount
-
Use a knife to cut open the back of the chicken legs at the crotch area so that the chicken at the crotch area is spread out as much as possible, but do not cut it off. Make a few cuts on the legs. The purpose of this is to make the chicken more flavorful.
-
Spread the sauce evenly on the chicken legs and massage them for a while.
-
After all the chicken legs are coated with sauce, place them in a container. Add the green onions, ginger slices, and the remaining sauce to marinate, then refrigerate for at least half a day. The longer the marinade, the better. I started marinating it in the afternoon the day before and took it out to bake the next morning. It was very delicious. During the marinating process, if you have time, you can take it out and turn the chicken legs once, and turn the chicken legs on the bottom to the top. The purpose is to make the chicken legs evenly flavored.
-
After the chicken legs have marinated for enough time, take them out of the refrigerator and prepare them for grilling. Line a grill rack with tin foil. Place an empty baking pan on the lower shelf of the oven and line it with tin foil. Cut the tinfoil as large as possible so that it can be slightly folded around. Why do we do this? Because when baking later, we have to brush the sauce and honey repeatedly. In addition, the chicken legs will release oil during baking, so stand up the tin foil around it to form a protection that can catch the soup. Preheat the oven to 190 degrees. Brush the chicken legs with a layer of the remaining sauce in the container, then brush with a layer of honey, and bake on the middle shelf of the oven for 15 minutes.
-
When the time is up, take out the chicken legs, brush both sides with honey, turn the chicken legs wrong side up, and bake again for 15 minutes. After the time is up, take out the chicken legs, brush both sides with honey, turn the chicken legs right side up, and bake again for 15 minutes until done.
-
Plate.
-
Don’t throw away the thick soup caught in the tin foil. Use a spoon to pour the soup over the chicken legs. Remember this tip! The color is bright and tastes great!
-
The meat is tender and juicy, sweet and slightly spicy, with an authentic Orleans flavor.
