Roasted Chicken Legs with Plum Chili Salsa image

Categories     Chicken     Fruit     Garlic     Herb     Pepper     Poultry     Roast     Plum     Mint     Summer     Gourmet

Yield Serves 4 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 17

For the marinade
4 large ripe purple or red plums (about 1 pound), chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced and mashed to a paste with 1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon Oriental sesame oil
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup fresh orange juice
1/4 cup white-wine vinegar
3 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon minced seeded fresh jalapeño pepper (wear rubber gloves)
1 tablespoon minced peeled fresh gingerroot
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
8 whole chicken legs (about 4 1/2 pounds)
Plum Chili Salsa
For garnish
ripe plum wedges
lime wedges
whole fresh mint leaves

Steps:

  • Make the marinade:
  • In a food processor purée the plums, the garlic paste, the oil, the soy sauce, the orange juice, the vinegar, the sugar, the jalapeño, the gingerroot, the mustard, and black pepper to taste until the mixture is smooth. In a large saucepan bring the marinade to a boil, simmer it, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes, or until it is reduced to about 2 cups, and let it cool.
  • In a large shallow dish arrange the chicken, pricked in several places with a fork, in one layer, pour the marinade over it, reserving 1/4 cup for the salsa, and let the chicken marinate, covered and chilled, turning it once, for at least 1 hour or, preferably, overnight. Transfer the chicken to an oiled rack set over a foil-lined roasting pan, spoon the marinade over it, and roast the chicken in the upper third of a preheated 450°F. oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until it is cooked through.
  • Make the salsa while the chicken is roasting.
  • Arrange the chicken on a heated platter, garnish it with the plum wedges, the lime wedges, and the mint leaves, and serve it hot or at room temperature with the salsa.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe plums: Look for plums that are deeply colored and slightly soft to the touch. Avoid plums that are bruised or have blemishes.
  • Grill the plums first: This will help to caramelize the sugars in the fruit and create a delicious, slightly smoky flavor.
  • Brine the chicken breasts: This will help to keep them moist and flavorful during grilling.
  • Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade will help to infuse the chicken breasts with flavor. Be sure to choose a marinade that complements the sweetness of the plums.
  • Grill the chicken breasts over medium heat: This will help to prevent them from drying out.
  • Serve the chicken breasts with the grilled plums and a simple salad: This will create a delicious and healthy meal.

Conclusion:

Grilled chicken breasts with plum sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout. The chicken breasts are brined and marinated in a flavorful mixture of spices and herbs, then grilled until cooked through. The grilled plums add a touch of sweetness and smokiness to the dish. This dish can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice, pasta, or salad.
