Ingredients

Servings
  • 6 chicken leg Notes 1, 2, whole
  • 4 garlic cloves
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 ½ teaspoons Turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon salt or to taste
  • 1 teaspoon neutral cooking oil generic cooking oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F/ 200°C.
  2. Divide the chicken legs at the joint to have 6 thighs and 6 drumsticks (Note). Place them in a shallow and large dish. 6 whole chicken legs
  3. Rub chicken: In a small bowl, combine the rest of the ingredients. Pour the mixture over the chicken and rub the chicken well.4 garlic cloves + 3 tablespoons honey + 2 tablespoons soy sauce + 1 ½ teaspoons turmeric + 1 teaspoon salt or to taste + 1 teaspoon oil
  4. Roast turmeric chicken: Line a large baking tray with foil or baking parchment. Lightly brush the foil with a bit of oil. Place the chicken parts on it and bake for 30-40 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
  5. Check doneness with an instant-read thermometer; the internal temperature should be 165°F/ 74°C. Ohterwise, insert a toothpick in the thickest part of the thigh; the juices that run out should be completely clear, absolutely no pink. Make sure to check after 30 minutes of baking time. If the juices are still pink, prolong the baking time and check after every 5 minutes or so.

Notes

  • Chicken parts: You can use whole chicken legs and divide them at the joint (See instructions below) or you can buy only thighs, only drumsticks, or a mixture. 
  • Divide whole chicken legs: Hold the thigh with one hand and the leg with the other hand. Bend the chicken leg until the joint dislocates. Cut through the dislocated joint with a sharp knife or use kitchen shears. Remove the excess fat and skin.
