Notes
- Note 1 - For this recipe, there is enough marinade for 5 small chicken legs. If you have bigger chicken legs then you may need to use less.
- Note 2 - It is important that you rub the marinade into all the crevices and inside the slits to ensure maximum flavour
- Note 3 - The minimum amount of time is 30 minutes, but it is best to allow it to marinate overnight or as long as possible.
- Note 4 - Use a tray with a wire rack to ensure constant air circulation, which will allow the chicken to cook evenly.
