Vinegar is the Star ingredient here, especially if you use fruit flavoured one like I have. I love my cranberry flavoured vinegar. I also have tried this recipe with a coffee flavoured vinegar, balsamic vinegar and truffle flavoured vinegar. I would urge you to invest in really good vinegar, you will thank me later for investing in this wonderfully versatile ingredient
The pomegranate molasses add deep and rich undertones into the stock as it cooks.
Vinegar Roasted Chicken
Equipment
- Oven
- Oven tray
Ingredients
- 6 chicken legs without skin
- 2 tbsp fruit flavoured vinegar
- 2 tbsp pomegranate molasses
- 450 ml Chicken stock – homemade or use 1.5 chicken stock cubes crumbled into hot water
- 2 cloves of black garlic with skin
- 1 small red onion finely chopped
- 2 tsp chilli flakes
- Pinch of smoked sea salt
- 1 tsp olive oil spray
- Freshly cracked black pepper
Instructions
- Wash the chicken legs and remove the skin
- Using a knife make deep cuts on the chicken
- Roughly chop one medium sized red onion
- Pre-heat oven to 250°C
- In a baking tray, lined with foil, place the chicken legs
- Drizzle with olive oil, sea salt, freshly cracked black pepper, vinegar and pomegranate molasses onto the chicken
- Rub the vinegar, molasses, and seasoning onto the chicken to coat them thoroughly
- I always use my homemade chicken stock but if you are using stock cubes then dissolve them into freshly boiled water from the kettle and make a mixture
- Scatter the chopped onion and garlic around the chicken
- If using black garlic, squeeze them partly out from their skins so they almost melt into the stock while cooking
- Pour the chicken stock around the seasoned chicken legs
- Sprinkle some chilli flakes on top
- Cover with foil and cook for 45 minutes
- Once the 45-minute mark is done, remove the tray, oven the foil and using tongs turn the legs
- Cover and cook for another 15-20 minutes
- Then remove the top foil and cook at 200-220 °C until the little skin around the bones turns a nice brown
- Serve with a side salad
- During summer I like to serve my Vinegar roast chicken with a rainbow salad and a refreshing fresh salad dressing, recipe to follow on my blog soon. Stay Tuned!
Notes
- The oven time can vary based on how big the chicken pieces are, what cut you plan to use, and the type of oven you have.
- If using frozen chicken legs, I advise cooking at a low temperature of about 150 deg Celsius in a pre-heated oven for over an hour. The oven dish should be covered with a foil, tightly fitted around the edges.
