Marinade and Chicken
Method
Preparation and Cooking
Prepare the Marinade
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, soy sauce, honey, paprika, black pepper, salt, and lemon juice. Whisk together until well mixed.
Marinate the Chicken
Add the chicken legs to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or ideally overnight for better flavor.
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Bake the Chicken
Place the marinated chicken legs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is crispy.
Garnish and Serve
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
