Colombian Style Roasted Chicken Legs
PUBLISHED ON: 12.01.2009
I love the flavor of these chicken drumsticks. This dish packs a lot of flavor with minimum preparation. The meat is moist and the skin is flavorful. A perfect dish to marinate the night before and cook the next day. Served with rice and a simple salad, you have a delicious meal, that is kid-friendly too.
This recipe is from Erica’s blog www.mycolombianrecipes.com where she shares her traditional Colombian food recipes that she grew up eating and enjoying with her family.
Colombian Style Roasted Chicken Legs
(Pierna de pollo Asadas a mi Estilo Colombiano)
Serves 4-6
Ingredients:
12 chicken drumsticks with skin
1 bunch scallions
3 garlic cloves
1 medium white onion
1/4 cup fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon fresh thyme
1 tablespoon dried ground cumin
1 tablespoon paprika
2 tablespoons white vinegar
Salt and pepper
Directions:
1. In a food processor, place the scallions, garlic, onion, cilantro, thyme, vinegar, cumin, paprika, salt and pepper. Process to a paste.
2. Place the chicken in a ziplock bag and add the marinade and cover the chicken evenly with the marinade. Refrigerate the chicken overnight.
3. Cover a baking sheet with foil and coat with cooking spray. Position oven rack in the center of the oven and turn the oven to broil.
4. Place the chicken legs on the baking sheet. Broil for about 25-30 minutes, turning the legs once during cooking or until the chicken is cooked and the drumsticks are golden brown. Let rest for 5 minutes and transfer to a serving plate.
Enjoy!

This dish is for me, right? Oh, thank you thank you so much! 😉 I love how they have to be marinated overnight. That's how you soak in the flavor. Even though I don't cook, I am forever scandalized by marinates that claim \”Ready in 15 minutes\” on their bottles. Yeah, so I buy this bottle AND a time machine will come with it?…

That looks so good, and so easy! It's great when one can assemble a dish ahead of time, and only have to cook it on the day of serving.
