How to Make Roasted Maggi Sauce Chicken Legs

Making Roasted Maggi Sauce Chicken Legs is straightforward and fun. You’ll mix the marinade and let the chicken soak in those amazing flavors. After that, you’ll cook them until perfectly crispy and juicy. Let’s get started!

Ingredients:

4 chicken legs
1/4 cup Maggi seasoning sauce
2 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/2 tablespoon minced ginger

Directions:

Step 1: Combine all the ingredients except the chicken legs in a bowl and mix well.
Step 2: Add the chicken legs and marinade to a Ziplock bag. Close the bag and try to get as much air out of it as possible (I submerged it in a pot of water). Refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
Step 3: At this point, you can air-fry or bake them. To air-fry, preheat your air fryer to 400°F. Spray the tray with oil and place the chicken legs skin-side down. Cook for 15 minutes, then flip and cook for another 10 minutes. To bake, roast at 400°F for 35-40 minutes, flipping once halfway through.
Step 4: While the legs are roasting, pour the leftover chicken marinade into a small saucepan and bring to a boil. When the legs are done, you can serve this sauce with them.

Tools You’ll Need

How to Serve Roasted Maggi Sauce Chicken Legs

These chicken legs are best served hot, straight from the oven or air fryer. Pair them with steamed rice, a side of sautéed vegetables, or a fresh salad for a complete meal. Drizzling the boiled marinade over the chicken adds an extra punch of flavor.

How to Store Roasted Maggi Sauce Chicken Legs

If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They should stay fresh for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply place them in the oven or microwave until heated through. You’ll enjoy those flavors again, just like they were freshly cooked!

Tips to Make Roasted Maggi Sauce Chicken Legs

Marinate Longer: For even more flavor, let the chicken marinate overnight.
Try Different Cooking Methods: Experiment with grilling for a smoky flavor.
Make It Spicy: Add chili flakes or hot sauce to the marinade for a spicy kick.
Vegetarian Option: Try this marinade with tofu or tempeh for a plant-based alternative.

FAQs
