My inspiration for this recipe is a jerk type of marinade...i did it in the oven but it could easily be done on the grill also. Ingredients:
2 lbs chicken legs, about 6 (2 tsp bat tears) |
3 black tea bags (brewed with 1 cup boiling water till strong tea about 10 minutes) |
1 grapefruit, juiced |
2 inches fresh ginger, peeled and chopped |
1/3 cup light corn syrup |
1/4 cup corn oil or 1/4 cup olive oil |
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes |
3 teaspoons thyme |
1 teaspoon rosemary |
1 teaspoon allspice |
1 teaspoon onion powder |
1 teaspoon garlic powder |
1 teaspoon cinnamon |
1 teaspoon nutmeg |
1 teaspoon paprika |
1 teaspoon salt |
Directions:
1. Mix all liquids: tea, grapefruit juice, corn syrup and oil together, put in blender with ginger and blend. place this liquid in ziplock bag with the chicken and marinate 1 hour.
2. mix all remaining spices together well*. add to chicken and marinade. allow to marinade for another hour.
3. * if you like really spicy food, save some of the spice mixture and sprinkle on chicken right before roasting.
4. preheat oven to 350 degrees and bake chicken legs on a rack over cookie sheet or roasting pan for 45-60 minutes.
