On October 04, 2006 in Different Dinner Project, Recipes
4 chicken legs, thighs attached
2 medium plums, peeled, pitted and chopped
2 cloves garlic, crushed
2 teaspoons sesame oil
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/4 cup orange juice
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
1 green chili, minced
1-1/2 teaspoons ginger puree
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt
- Combine plums, garlic, sesame oil, soy sauce, orange juice, vinegar, honey, chili, ginger, mustard and salt in a food processor, blending until smooth.
- Place mixture into a saucepan over medium-high heat, bringing to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and reduce by half, stirring occasionally.
- Allow the marinade to cool. Prick the chicken several times with a fork, then place in a dish covered with 3/4 of the marinade. Refrigerate for at least an hour, turning once.
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees with a roasting pan with an oiled rack inside of it.
- Place the chicken on the rack of the roasting pan and roast until cooked through to the center, about 30 minutes.
- Brush remaining 1/4 of marinade over chicken and roast for an additional 5 minutes. Allow meat to rest for a few minutes and garnish with lime wedges dusted with cayenne pepper.
