My mom washes her chicken thighs and legs up then seasons them (liberally) in a baking dish (salt, pepper, poultry seasoning; make sure it has celery seed in it, garlic; I like powder better than salt because many garlic salts have msg in them, and paprika). Then she poured a bottle of Catalina dressing over them, put the lid on, and baked them at 350 for 40 - 50 minutes. (Be sure to check for done-ness.)
I modified her recipe a bit and used less Catalina and mixed it with Frank's Red Hot (hot sauce), a couple of finely chopped green onions, and a Tbsp of fresh, chopped parsley. I also like to chop off any extra fatty pieces I find hiding under the skin or at the joints of the meat then skim the top off the sauce before I remove the chicken. I don't like greasy chicken.I have some chicken thighs and legs. any recipes for a nice marinade/coating? thanks x?
First soak them in salt water. Take a large stainless bowl or pot and add about 1/2 cup of salt and cold water and add the chicken parts. Let sit in fridge for at least two hours. Now you can either do one of the following, bake, broil or fry. If you choose to bake, take the skin off. It is way better that way and the seasonings go into the meat not the skin. Just use some salt, pepper, garlic,onion and some orange juice, cover and bake at 350 for about 2 hours. If you choose to broil it, then lift the skin but don't disconnect it. In a bowl mix some paprika, sugar, pepper, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne powder, minced habanero pepper (if you like skip the garlic powder and use minced garlic) and stir it up. Put some of this under each of the pieces skin and spread it around with your fingers. Then sprinkle the outside with salt and pepper. Melt some margarine and brush it on the skin side, now put it under the broiler skin side down first, 20 mins per side and brush with the margarine about every 5 to 10 mins to prevent burning. Flip over and 20 mins on the other side brushing often. By separating the skin it becomes very crisp and the fat melts away almost completely. Also use a rack to keep the chicken out of the fat that drips off.
To fry just add salt and pepper to some flour and flour each piece, then allow to sit in fridge for at least 1/2 hour to 2 hours. This will allow the flour to form like a batter almost. Fry as you normally would. It is simply seasoned but salt and pepper is all you really need.

I soak my chicken in Italian dressing the day before I cook it. Like for a full day. Its the easiest marinade but also has definitely been the best I have found. Very yummy and simple.
