Recipe "Chicken Chupa Chupsa"

Ingredients for 4 servings

chicken legs

8 pcs.

olive oil

4 tbsp. l.

soy sauce

2 tbsp. l.

to taste

Step 1/9

Dry the chicken legs thoroughly with paper towels. With a sharp knife, cut the tendons around the upper joint of each leg, then pull the meat along the bone down and form a ball from it.

Step 2/9

Fold the prepared chicken legs into a large bowl, salt, pepper and add the garlic to taste. Pour the lemon juice over the chicken legs and two tablespoons of olive oil. Turn the legs over several times so they are completely covered with marinade.

Step 3/9

Cover the bowl with cling film and leave the legs to marinate for 20-30 minutes. If you plan to freeze the legs, then do it after this stage and finish cooking according to the instructions below, when necessary.

Step 4/9

Wrap the stone of each leg in foil to prevent the meat from slipping back in and loosely arrange them in a large, heatproof dish.

Step 5/9

Preheat the oven to 190 ° C and set the grill to medium. Place the chicken-leg tin in the centre of the oven and bake for 20 minutes.

Step 6/9

Turn the legs to the other side and continue cooking for another 10 minutes.

Step 7/9

Prepare the glaze: combine honey, mustard, paprika and soy sauce in a small bowl. Add the remaining olive oil and beat with a whisk or fork until thick and smooth.

Step 8/9

Remove the mold from the oven and use a cooking brush to brush each chicken leg with icing on all sides.

Step 9/9

Return the tin to the oven and increase the heat to 210C. Continue baking the chicken legs for another 15-20 minutes, until lightly browned and crisp.
