Number Of Ingredients 15

3/4 cup lime ponzu
2/3 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
3 large tomatoes, halved horizontally and grated on the large holes of a box grater
2 jalapenos, quartered lengthwise
2 dried chiles de arbol
1 bunch fresh cilantro, leaves and stems separated
1 head garlic, cloves divided and unpeeled
1 large red onion, cut into 1-inch wedges
6 chicken legs, skin on
Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
Mexican Corn Cakes, for serving
Lime wedges, for serving
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved, for serving
1 avocado, peeled and sliced, for serving
Sour cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Place ponzu, lime juice, and tomatoes in a medium bowl; stir to combine. Add jalapenos, chiles, garlic, and red onion; stir to combine. Place chicken legs in a large resealable plastic bag; add ponzu mixture. Tie cilantro stems together with kitchen twine and add to bag with chicken; seal bag and shake to coat. Transfer bag to refrigerator and let marinate overnight.
  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Pour chicken mixture from plastic bag into a roasting pan; turn chicken so that it's skin side up and season with salt and pepper. Cover roasting pan tightly with parchment paper-lined aluminum foil and transfer to oven; bake for 1 1/2 hours.
  • Uncover chicken and increase oven temperature to 450 degrees and return roasting pan to oven. Cook until chicken is crisp, about 30 minutes. Serve chicken with vegetables in roasting pan, corn cakes, lime wedges, cherry tomatoes, avocado, and sour cream; garnish with cilantro leaves.

This dish was a disaster. The chicken was burnt and the sauce was inedible.

I would not recommend this recipe. The chicken was overcooked and the sauce was too salty.

This recipe is not worth the effort. The chicken was tough and the sauce was bland.

This dish was easy to make, but it was not very flavorful. I would recommend adding more spices to the sauce.

The chicken was a bit dry. I would recommend cooking it for a shorter amount of time.

This dish was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend reducing the amount of sugar in the sauce.

I'm not a fan of ponzu sauce, but I decided to try this recipe anyway. I was pleasantly surprised! The sauce was not as strong as I thought it would be, and it complemented the chicken perfectly. I will definitely be making this dish again.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I made it with some rotisserie chicken and it was delicious. The sauce is flavorful and tangy, and the chicken is cooked to perfection.
