Chicken legs
Permalink Closed


I have some bone-in chicken leg and thighs out for dinner this week but I'm feeling uninspired for recipes. Does anyone have any good ideas that they like?

Are you broiling them or baking? I find broiling faster ( about 16-18 min each side) & healthier, although baking (about 55min-1 hour) is just as good.
So the simplest I do when i have nothing else:
1.Marinade them in ketchup + salt, pepper, onion, herbs ( even if you have dry herbs - also good).
2. marinade in honey - mustard ( mix honey, mustard, garlic, salt, pepper). Taste that it's to your taste, not too sweet...
3. Russian favorite: marinade in mayonnaise. Mix mayo, garlic, onion, salt, pepper, a bit of mustard & herbs to your taste ( dill, parsley) (  mustard makes it richer, but not obligatory)
4. If you have a steak sause at home - marinade in that, mix it with ketchup & herbs.
5. MArinade in lemon juice/ lemon wedges, olive oil, parsley, white wine ( if you have opened), salt, pepper, onion, garlic, herbs ( rosemary is good).

While you're baking/broiling: add potatoes/sweet potatoes on the same sheet, mix them with olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika, maybe dry herbs, such as rosemary or basil, thyme, whatever you have.
