ENGLISH STYLE ROASTED CHICKEN LEGS


My family adores English cuisine, majorly because they have spend an enormous part of their lives living up there. Whether it is classic pies, fullfilling english breakfasts or all time hit fish and chips, they just love it. I find out that this cuisine is really simple, with just appropriate seasonings, less use of oil and healthy addition of lots of colourful and vibrant vegetables, makes it healthy choice and a good alternate to routinely desi varieties.
Now, coming over to recipe, I find it really simple, quick and perfectly seasoned. I have been making it for years, particularly on special occasion like Eid and huge family gatherings. Everyone who has tasted it has appreciated the flavours. So here you go

RECIPE

  • Chicken Legs(whole & with skin) 1kg 
  • Salt
  • Red Chilli Flakes 1Tbsp
  • Olive Oil 4Tbsp
  • Freshly Squeezed Lemon Juice 1/2cup
  • Potatoes 6(washed and cut into 4 pieces)


METHOD

  1. Prick chicken legs with fork all over.
  2. Mix together the seasonings.
  3. Add chicken legs and rest overnight.
  4. Now arrange it in a baking dish with potatoes.
  5. Bake in a pre-heated oven at 200C for 40mins, turning once after 20mins.
*You can also make mash potatoes instead of roast potatoes.
*You can also serve whatever vegetables are available to you like broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, courgette, green beans, brussels sprouts. Just steam these and serve.

FOR GRAVY

  1. I used BISTO gravy granules, just prepare it according to packet instruction.
*If you don't find the gravy granules, skip it, but it taste better with gravy.
