Preparation
Blitz all of the listed ingredients (minus the chicken legs of course) in a blender to make a smooth marinade
Score the chicken legs using a sharp knife
Coat the legs with the marinade and leave for at least 30 mins, preferably overnight, before cooking
Preheat your oven to gas mark 6 (200°c, 400°f) and roast for 35 - 40 mins
Place the legs the wrong side up in the roasting tin and turn them over half way, so that the chicken legs finish cooking the right side up
I like to grill/broil my chicken for a further 5 - 8 minutes once cooked to ensure a nice brown colour on the outside
Enjoy your delicious chicken with sides of your choice
