Christmas dinner has to be roast chicken. This is much more delicious than the store-bought kind. Enjoy it on birthdays and parties year-round, not just on Christmas!

Bone-in chicken is marinated for 2 days, but boneless chicken thighs or small parts only need to be marinated for a day. Adjust the marinade depending on the size and amount of chicken. Recipe by *3103*

Steps

1

Pierce the chicken leg on both sides several times with a fork to make it easier to absorb the marinade. If you make some cuts into the chicken next to the bone it will cook faster and be easier to eat.
2

Rub the salt, pepper, garlic powder, mustard, grated ginger and honey into the chicken leg very well.
3

Put the chicken leg, white wine and herbs of your choice into a sturdy ziplock bag. Leave to marinate in the refrigerator for 2 days, turning occasionally.
4

Line an oven baking sheet with cooking parchment paper, and put the leg on it skin side down. Bake in a preheated 220℃ oven for 30 minutes.
5

If you baste the leg while it's cooking with the leftover marinade it will become tastier and shinier. If it looks like it's going to get burned cover with a sheet of aluminum foil.
6

Bone-in chicken is for Christmas only, but the boneless version appears at our family table all the time.
7

If you cut open chicken drumettes (the thick part of a chicken wing) they're perfect for times when you want to eat less or for children.

Tender and Juicy Chicken Teriyaki. This is the more basic, "day-to-day" version of the recipe I shared here.
