Ingredients
- 4 whole chicken legs
- 1/4 cup of reduced-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tsp of dark soy sauce
- 1 tbsp of Shaoxing rice wine or dry sherry
- 2 tsp of raw sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp of Season with Spice’s Sichuan-style Chinese Five Spice or Penang Chinese Five Spice
- 2 tsp of toasted sesame oil
- 2 large garlic cloves – minced
- 1 tbsp of freshly grated ginger
Instructions
- In a small bowl, add soy sauce, dark soy sauce, rice wine, and sugar. Whisk until sugar is dissolved. Add in our Sichuan-style Chinese Five Spice, as well as toasted sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Stir well.
- Using a skewer, poke a few holes around the chicken legs (to allow marinade to penetrate the skin and meat). Place the chicken and marinade in a resealable, plastic bag, and shake around to coat chicken well. Refrigerate for 3-4 hours or overnight.
- When ready to cook, preheat oven to 400F.
- Place the marinated chicken on a baking sheet. Roast chicken until skin is nicely browned and meat is fully cooked through – should take 40-50 minutes. Turn the chicken legs over twice during the roasting process.
