Ingredients
Ginger-Soy Roasted Chicken Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon ginger grated
- 1/2 tablespoon Garlic chopped
- 2 teaspoons brown sugar
- 1/4 Cup Soy Sauce
- 1/2 tablespoon canola oil plus extra, to drizzle
- ground black pepper
- 1 kilo chicken leg quarters about 4 pieces
- 1 bundle Leeks
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 200 Grams asparagus
- Salt to taste
- sesame seeds toasted
Instructions
- Combine ginger, garlic, brown sugar, soy sauce, canola oil, and pepper in a bowl. Pour mixture over chicken, cover, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
- Preheat oven to 350ºF. Remove chicken from the refrigerator 10 minutes before roasting.
- Trim stalks of leeks and separate the leaves. Place leeks on a baking pan, making a bed. Drizzle with extra canola oil.
- Place chicken on top of leeks. Roast, uncovered, for 40 to 50 minutes or until cooked through. (You can cover the chicken with foil during the last 8 to 10 minutes of cooking to prevent the skin from burning.)
- Meanwhile, heat sesame oil in a frying pan over high heat. Fry asparagus for 2 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Remove chicken from the oven, garnish with sesame seeds, and serve with asparagus.
