Home version of salt-baked chicken legs

Overview

There was a special price on chicken drumsticks in the supermarket. I bought a lot of them and wanted to try various ways of making them.

Wash the chicken legs and set aside. No need to blanch them, just wash them a few times.
Cut the chicken legs a few times to make them more flavorful.
In order to make the color look better, I added some gardenia powder. The amount I used was a bit too much. This powder is particularly pigmented, so just a little bit is enough.
Add onion and ginger and marinate for two hours to remove the smell.
I made a mistake in this step. I should have taken out the onions before putting them in the pot, otherwise the onions would release water. Put a small amount of oil in the bottom of the pot, cut the ginger into thick slices and spread it on the bottom of the pot.
Picture of the finished product, the taste is still okay.
