Ingredients
Chicken legs (on the bone)
1 teaspoon Paprika
1 teaspoon Chilli Flakes (adjust for spice level)
2 tablespoons Dark Soy Sauce
1 teaspoon Oyster Sauce (optional)
½ Juice of half a lemon
3 - 4 tablespoons Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Minced Garlic
1 teaspoon Minced Ginger
Fresh Coriander (for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
👨🍳 1) Preparation: Remove the skin from the chicken legs and score them with a sharp knife. Scoring helps the marinade penetrate for deeper flavors.
Step 2
👨🍳 2) Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, combine paprika, chili flakes, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, and minced ginger.
Step 3
👨🍳 3) Marinate the Chicken: Add the marinade to the chicken legs. Ensure the chicken is coated well. If time allows, let it marinate for at least 30 minutes for richer flavors.
Step 4
👨🍳 4) Cooking Methods: Air Fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 200°C (392°F). Cook the marinated chicken legs for approximately 20 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Oven: Alternatively, preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F). Place the marinated chicken in the oven and bake for around 30 minutes until the chicken is cooked and the skin is crispy.
Step 5
👨🍳 5) Serve: Once cooked, garnish with fresh coriander before serving.
