Method

9 steps

Sauce

  1. Step 1

    In a small pot over medium heat, brown the garlic and spices in the oil.
  2. Step 2

    Add the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil while whisking.
  3. Step 3

    Simmer over low heat for 5 minutes or until the sauce has thickened and reduced by half. Keep warm.

Chicken

  1. Step 1

    With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Step 2

    Place the chicken on a non-stick baking sheet or one lined with parchment paper. Cover with oil. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Step 3

    Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until the meat separates easily from the bone, basting the chicken with the pan juices halfway through cooking. Set aside.
  4. Step 4

    Preheat the barbecue, setting the burners to high. Oil the grate.
  5. Step 5

    Grill the vegetables until tender crisp. Grill the chicken for 1 minute on each side. Brush the chicken with a little sauce and continue cooking for 1 to 2 minutes.
  6. Step 6

    Serve the chicken legs with grilled vegetables. Drizzle with the sauce. Serve with rice, if desired.
