Roasted Garlic And Herb Chicken Legs Recipes

Steps:

• In a medium bowl stir together all ingredients except the chicken. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the mixture for the grilled flat bread. Add the chicken to the bowl, and toss with herb mixture so that all pieces are well coated. Cover and place in refrigerator for at least 2 hours and as long as overnight.
• Heat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Be sure to oil grate when ready to start cooking. Let chicken stand at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes before grilling.
• Place chicken on hot, oiled grill and cook for a total of 18 to 20 minutes giving it a quarter turn every 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer chicken to a platter and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 180 degrees celcius.
• Marinate the drumsticks in oil, garlic and herbs/salt for about 1/2 hour.
• Place on a baking tray lined with baking paper and cook for 40 minutes, turn and cook for a further 20 minutes.
• Wrap the drumsticks in individual foil, and freeze the portions.
• Whenever you want them, put them in the oven to warm or allow to thaw in the fridge over night to eat cold.

Steps:

• With fingers, carefully loosen skin around the chicken breast, leg and thigh. Combine minced parsley, rosemary, sage, thyme, salt and pepper; rub half under skin. Place sliced garlic cloves under skin. Squeeze half of the lemon into the cavity and place the squeezed half in the cavity. , Remove papery outer skin from whole garlic bulb (do not peel or separate cloves). Cut top off garlic bulb. Place garlic bulb and herb sprigs in the cavity. Skewer chicken openings; tie drumsticks together with kitchen string., Place chicken breast side up on a rack in a roasting pan. Squeeze the remaining lemon half over chicken; rub remaining herb mixture over chicken., Bake, uncovered, at 350° until a thermometer inserted in thickest part of thigh reads 170°-175°, 1-1/2 to 1-3/4 hours (cover loosely with foil if chicken browns too quickly). If desired, baste with pan drippings. , Cover and let stand for 15 minutes. Remove and discard garlic, lemon and herbs from cavity before carving.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 325°F In ungreased 12x8" (2 quart) baking dish, combine mushrooms and onion; spread evenly in the bottom of the baking dish.
• Remove and discard giblets and neck (or save for another use) from the chicken body cavity. Rinse chicken inside and out with cold water; drain. Pat dry with paper towels. Rub inside of the chicken cavity with seasoning salt.
• Close neck cavity by bringing loose skin over the opening and holding in place with metal skewer. Twist wing tips under back.
• In small bowl, combine butter, parsley, thyme, rosemary, and garlic; mix well. Spread over chicken and inside the cavity.
• I usually place additional fresh rosemary and thyme sprigs in the cavity before closing. With string, tie legs and tail together. Place the chicken in the baking dish over the mushrooms and onion.
• Bake at 325F for 2 to 2 1/2 hours. Chicken is done when drumstick moves easily up and down and twists in socket, and when chicken is fork-tender and juices run clear. Don't pierce the skin too often or you'll lose some moisture in the breasts.
• Remove chicken from baking dish; place on serving dish or carving board. Cover and let stand 10 minutes before slicing.
• Remove mushrooms (and onion, if desired) into saucepan. Pour pan drippings into 2 cup measuring cup. Remove as much fat as possible from the top. Add enough chicken broth to equal 1 1/2 cups of liquid.
• Mix 1/4 cup water with flour and blend well.
• Over medium heat, add flour mixture to mushrooms, stirring to combine and cook for 2 minutes. Add some of the reserved liquid if necessary to keep from getting too pasty.
• Add remaining reserved liquid to the mushrooms, whisk gently and bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat slightly and cook gray until thickened. Season with salt and pepper as needed.
• Notes for garlic lovers: I cut the tops off two garlic heads (use more or less to your individual tastes and/or the amount of potatoes you're making) and place inside the chicken cavity before closing. Then, when making my mashed potatoes, I squeeze the garlic pulp into potatoes with some butter and chicken broth.
