Ingredients

Servings
  • 3 lbs chicken leg quarter 6 pieces, thighs and legs attached, fat trimmed
  • 6 cloves garlic
  • 1 shallot large
  • 1 tbsp ginger grated fresh
  • 1 tbsp agave syrup or sugar
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce tamari for gluten free, reduced sodium
  • 1/2 tsp Chinese five-spice powder
  • black pepper freshly ground

Instructions

  1. In a blender combine the marinade ingredients; blend until smooth.
  2. Place the chicken in a large, resealable zip-top bag or container and pour in the marinade. Toss the chicken inside the bag to cover evenly with the marinade and refrigerate for 6-8 hours or as long as overnight.
  3. Preheat oven to 400°F.
  4. Place the chicken on a rack in a foil lined roasting pan. Create a loose tent over the chicken with foil.
  5. Roast the chicken in the center of the oven 30 minutes; remove foil and continue to cook, basting occasionally until the internal temperature is 165°-170°F, about 45 minutes longer (Insert thermometer between the leg and the thigh).
