HERBED CHICKEN LEGS













Was out during the weekends so I didn't have any time to prepare/do any new experiments. Here's really simple yet really flavorful dish.

WHAT YOU'LL NEED:
- Chicken legs / Drumstick

- Oregano
- Salt
- Pepper
- Cayenne Pepper














PREPARING THE CHICKEN

1. Make a vertical incision from the top of the Drumstick to just above the ankle
2. Carefully remove the Meat off the bone. Do not completely remove the meat, keep it intact with the lower part of the drumstick. (this will ex
pose the bone)
3. chop the exposed part of the bone (from top to the end of the incision)
4. You'll end up with a flower shaped fillet with a Drumstick handle

5. season both sides with Salt, Pepper, a little Cayenne Pepper and a lot of Oregano
Now you're ready to cook.














COOKING:

1. Pre heat a pan ( non-stick preferably, that way there's no need to add oil)

2. Set the Chicken on the pan Meat side down and press with a spatula
3. Cook on medium fire for 5-10 min or until golden brown
4. Turn and cook the Skin side for 5-10 min as well, pressing with a spatula every now and then( this will give you a slightly crispy outside texture but a very moist and tender inside


SAUCE(optional):

1. Mix 3 tbsp of Hoisin sauce with 1 tbsp Worcestershire

2. Add 2 tsp Chili Garlic sauce/2 dashes of Cayenne Pepper

3. Mix all together
4. This is enough for about 5 Drumsticks

You're done!

Happy Eating!
