Lemon & Herb Roasted Chicken Legs
domesblissity.blogspot.com.au/
Ingredients:
chicken legs
1 tbs lemon rind, finely grated
1 tbs dried oregano
1 tbs dried thyme
1 tbs chicken stock powder
salt & pepper
Instructions:
Place all ingredients in a plastic bag and shake to coat seasoning over chicken legs.
Remove from plastic bag and place on a baking tray lined with baking paper.
Bake for 45 mins in a 180 deg C oven, turning once during cooking process.
(Alternatively, you could go to the added expense and buy oven bags to firstly, coat your chicken legs and secondly, bake them inside the bag. I personally like my chicken skin crispy. If you don't eat the skin, bake with it on and remove before eating. It helps keep the chicken moist.)
It beats any packet mix and it took a little amount of time to grate the lemon rind and grab the spice bottles from the cupboard.
I served the chicken with roasted cubed potatoes and sweet potato and steamed green beans.
Cooks Notes
Some other flavors I'm going to try:
Spicy:
Chilli powder to taste
1 tbs ground cumin
1 tbs sweet paprika
1 tbs ground coriander
1 tbs garlic powder
1 tbs dried oregano
1 tbs chicken stock powder
finely grated of 1 lime
salt & pepper
Asian:
1 tbs ground ginger
1 tbs garlic powder
1 tbs brown sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
2-3 cloves, ground
1 tbs chicken stock powder
Chilli powder to taste
salt & pepper
You're only limited by your imagination. Best bet is when you visit the supermarket and you have the time to have a good look around, look at the flavor combinations of some of these ready made meals and try to replicate them at home. You'll save yourself a lot of money and enjoy the flavor a whole lot more. I also think these spice rubs would work well on whole chickens and other cuts of meat.
