Holiday Roast Chicken With Rich Sauce
- 2 Bone-in chicken legs
- 2 tbsp Dashi soy sauce (soy sauce premixed with dashi)
- 2 tbsp Soy sauce
- 1 tbsp Sake
- 1 tbsp Mirin
- 1 tbsp Honey
- 1/2 tbsp Balsamic vinegar
- 1/2 tbsp Ketchup
- 1/2 tbsp Oyster sauce
- 1/2 clove Grated garlic
- 100 grams Lotus root
- 2 Potatoes
- 1/2 head Broccoli
- Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl.
- Prick the back (not the skin side) of the chicken leg several times with a fork.
- Make an incision along the leg bone.
- Put the chicken and the mixed ingredients into a resealable bag and chill in the fridge for 4 hours or overnight.
- *Turn over the bag occasionally to allow the marinade to permeate the chicken legs.
- Pre-heat the oven to 230C.
- Line the oven tray with parchment paper and arrange the chicken legs with the skin sides up.
- Roast for 10 minutes.
- Flip over the chicken legs and roast for a further 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile transfer the marinade from the bag into a sauce pan.
- Reduce the marinade over a low heat.
- Turn over the chicken legs again and brush the reduced marinade evenly all over.
- Return to the oven to roast for a further 10 minutes.
- *Roasting time altogether is 40 minutes.
- The shiny-looking chicken legs are now done.
- *By the way...if you want to roast the vegetables together
- Slice the lotus root and potatoes into 1-cm thickness and microwave at 600w for about 4 minutes.
- Microwave the broccoli for 2 minutes.
- *I use a Lukue silicon dish for doing this.
- Arrange the vegetables from step 10 and chicken legs on an oven tray.
- Roast in an oven pre-heated to 230C with the skin sides up for 20 minutes and turn over to roast for a further 20 minutes.
- Brush the skin sides with the marinade and roast for a further 10 minutes.
