Chile-Garlic Chicken Legs image

Not sure where this came from, but it's super easy! The red pepper flakes give only the slightest touch of heat, so people who like spicy food will want to add more.

Time 50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
4 chicken legs, drumsticks and thighs separated (2-1/2 pounds total)
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
3/4 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/4 cup sugar

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken, skin side down, and cook until skin is golden and crisp, about 5 minutes. Flip and cook 2 minutes more. Transfer chicken to a plate. (May need to do this in batches, depending on the size of your saucepan.).
  • Discard all but 1 tablespoon fat from pan. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30 seconds.
  • Stir in vinegar, soy sauce, red-pepper flakes, and sugar.
  • Return chicken to pan, skin side up. Bring to a boil, cover, and reduce heat to low; cook 15 minutes (liquid should be gently simmering; adjust heat if necessary).
  • Uncover, raise heat to medium, and cook until sauce is reduced by half, at least 10 minutes.

I'm not sure about this recipe. The ingredient list is a bit overwhelming, and I'm not sure if I have all of the spices.

This is my go-to recipe for chicken legs. It's so easy to make, and the results are always delicious.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my chicken didn't turn out as crispy as I would have liked. I think I'll try cooking it at a higher temperature next time.

This recipe was a disappointment. The chicken was dry and overcooked, and the sauce was too spicy for my taste.

I'm not a huge fan of spicy food, but I found this dish to be surprisingly mild. The flavors were well-balanced, and the chicken was tender and juicy.

Yum! So tasty! The chicken was moist and flavorful, and the sauce was perfect. I'll definitely be making this again.

The recipe was easy to follow, and the chicken turned out amazing! I served it with a side of steamed broccoli and brown rice, and it was a hit with the whole family.

This dish had such a complex flavor profile, and the chicken was perfectly cooked - juicy and tender on the inside with a crispy skin on the outside. I especially enjoyed the balance of sweet and spicy from the chili and garlic.
