Chimichurri Roast Chicken Legs

photo: Scott Phillips

Servings:4 to 6

This herb-flecked chicken is a walkaway dish; once you stick it in the oven, it’s
completely hands off. There’s no fussy finish to worry about. Just take it out and
serve.

  • 2 packed cups fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
  • 1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup red-wine vinegar
  • 4 cloves garlic, smashed and peeled

Preparation

  • 把欧芹、油、醋、大蒜、牛至、pepper flakes, 1 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. black pepper in a blender, and purée until smooth. Reserve half for serving. (the sauce will keep up to one week covered and refrigerated.)
  • Put the chicken in a 9×13-inch baking dish, and season all over with 1 tsp. salt. Pour the remaining half of the chimichurri over the chicken and turn to coat the chicken with it. Cover and let sit for 30 minutes at room temperature or refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
  • Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat to 450°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and position a wire rack over the baking sheet.
  • Place the chicken skin side up on the wire rack (discard the remaining chimichurri in the baking dish). Roast until golden brown and cooked through (165°F), rotating the baking sheet halfway through roasting so that the chicken browns evenly, 35 to 45 minutes total. Serve with some of the reserved chimichurri.

    This was so good! Perfectly cooked, crisp skin, good taste. I didn't use all the chimichurri, even though I tossed quartered mushrooms with it and roasted them. Too much oil to use more. But really tasty chicken! And easy.
