How to Make Cilantro Chicken With Ginger
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger, 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro, and 1-2 finely chopped jalapeños (adjust to your spice preference).
- Place 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken legs in a single layer in a baking dish.
- Pour the cilantro-ginger mixture over the chicken, ensuring each piece is coated.
- Place 4-6 cloves of garlic between the chicken legs in the baking dish.
- Add 1/4 cup of water to the baking dish and cover tightly with aluminum foil.
- Bake for 1 hour and 25 minutes.
- Remove the foil during the last 10 minutes of cooking to allow the chicken skin to crisp up.
- Once cooked, squeeze the roasted garlic cloves over the chicken for an extra burst of flavor (optional).
