warningStay safe

Wash your hands thoroughly after handling raw chicken to prevent bacterial cross-contamination.

Layer 3 pcs chicken legs in a lidded container, and pour the prepared marinade mixture over them. Ensure the chicken is covered. Place in the freezer and marinate overnight (or 8 hours) to absorb the flavor.

warningStay safe

Use a sharp knife carefully on semi-frozen meat to avoid slipping and cutting yourself.

Allow the frozen marinated chicken to thaw until not frozen. Then, make a slit down the middle of each chicken piece to allow heat to penetrate easily.
