Steps
- Step 1
In a large bowl mix together the marinade ingredients until thoroughly combined.
- Step 2

Add in the chicken and massage in the marinade in. Cover and leave to marinade for 6 hours or upto 24 hours.
- Step 4

- Step 5

- Step 6

- Step 9
Preheat your grill (broiler) to high heat (around 240°C / 460°F)
- Step 10
Line a baking tray with foil and place a wire rack on top (optional, but helps with air circulation and charring). Place the marinated chicken on top of the wire rack.
- Step 11
Place the baking tray in the oven on the middle shelf (not too close to the heat) and cook for 25 minutes, turning over once halfway through.
- Step 12
Remove the chicken to rest once the it has hit an internal temperature of 80–85°C (175–185°F).
- Step 13
Rest for 5 minutes before serving sprinkled with some fresh coriander (cilantro).
- Step 14
Preheat the air fryer to 200C/400F. Spray the air fryer basket with spray oil. Add the chicken legs in in a single layer (you may need to work in two batches, depending on the size of your air fryer).
- Step 15
Air fry for 20 minutes, turning the chicken over halfway through the cooking time. The chicken should be piping hot and no longer pink in the middle with an internal temperature of 80–85°C (175–185°F).
