  • Wash the chicken in cool running water, and set aside to dry

  • Massage the chicken thoroughly with this marinade paste
  • Mix all ingredients for the Stuffing in a large mixing bowl and stir well until it forms a hard paste
  • Spread the Chicken Legs wide and fill the stuffing until full. Close up and truss the legs together with kitchen twine for baking
  • Roughly chop all remaining vegetables and spread evenly on a baking tray (make sure to grease the tray before you set the vegetable bed)
  • Rest the chicken on the vegetable bed, with the chicken breast facing side up
  • Place the tray in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours so that all marinade ingredients are well absorbed by the Chicken
  • Turn on your oven and heat it to 180°C
  • Roast your Chicken for 1 and 1/2 hours or until golden, and clear juice is able to flow out of it
  • Once cooked, leave aside to cool for about 15 minutes
  • Scrape vegetables and fat from the baking tray and run these contents through in a blender
  • Add in 1 and 1/2 cups of water to the vegetable mix that has been blended, and simmer over a medium flame, until it thickens
  • Serve this sauce with your chicken, along with some roasted potatoes (optional)
