Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • Various Chicken Legs & Thighs
  • 1/2 Cup of Chopped Cilantro
  • 1/2 Cup of Chopped Flat Leaf Parsley
  • 1/4 Cup Olive Oil
  • 1/8 Cup Lemon Juice
  • 1 Tbsp. Salt
  • 2 tsp. black pepper
  • 4 Cloves of Garlic
  • 1 Tbsp. Garlic Powder
  • 1 Tbsp. Onion Powder
  • 2 Tsp. Coriander
  • 2 Tsp. Cumin

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Mix all the ingredients other than the chicken into a blender and puree until you have a smooth green liquid. (Taste your sauce, if you think it needs more salt or lemon juice add it to your preference. )
  2. Step 2: (If you have time marinate your chicken in some of the sauce) Lay the chicken parts in a roasting pan and pour the green sauce over the chicken.
  3. Step 3: Cover with aluminum foil. Bake in the oven at 325F for 30 to 45 minutes. (The lower the heat the better, you'll just have to cook it longer)
  4. Step 4: Remove aluminum foil, broil both sides of chicken on high so it crisps up and the sauce reduces down.
  5. Step 5: Remove from the oven and allow to cool, then eat!
