Spicy Roasted Chicken Legs

Spicy Roasted Chicken Legs Recipe

Spicy Roasted Chicken Legs. This is a  delicious, roasted chicken recipe with lots of spices and a balanced flavour. I made this recipe keeping in mind that I need a full flavored chicken but I don’t want those traditional tikka flavors. It should be hot, spicy, and juicy so I cooked it in a pan on high heat to seal the juices inside then finished it in oven. 

I served these spicy roasted chicken legs with potatoes, mushroom and capsicum to make it a complete meal. I cooked these veges in remaining juices of chicken to get the maximum flavour.

To give this whole roast dish a complete flavour ,I made mint raita recipe and served with it.

Serving : 4

Give deep cuts in chicken legs, then marinate for at least 5-6 hours. I usually marinate them for 1 day.
Make sure your chicken has no water in it. Pat dry before marinating.

Heat a fry pan until very hot. Keep chicken pieces on it . On high heat cook them both sides for 6-6 minutes. Almost total for 12-15 minutes. (or try to cook until extra juices from chicken evaporate)
