Ingredients You’ll Need:
For the chicken and vegetables:
- 8 chicken legs
- 4 potatoes (peeled and quartered)
- 2 carrots (sliced)
- 2 onions (sliced)
- 2 cloves of garlic (minced)
- Salt and black pepper
- Paprika
- 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
For the rich soy glaze:
- 50ml soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and black pepper
How to Make It:
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F). In a large mixing bowl, toss the chicken legs with salt, pepper, paprika, oil, and garlic powder until well coated. Place them on a baking tray skin-side up.
Add the potatoes, carrots, onions, and minced garlic to the tray. Drizzle everything with melted butter and season lightly with salt and paprika.
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce and garlic powder, then generously brush it over the chicken legs. Bake for about 35–40 minutes or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, and the vegetables are tender and caramelized.
Once done, let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. The result? Juicy, flavorful chicken with crispy edges and perfectly roasted veggies — a dinner combo that will have your family asking for seconds!
