Scallion oil chicken legs are a flavorful, tender dish that’s easy to make with minimal ingredients. Here’s a step-by-step guide to perfect results every time.
Ingredients:
- 4 chicken legs (drumsticks and thighs)
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp Shaoxing wine (or dry sherry)
- 1 tsp sugar
- 4-5 stalks green onions, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ cup neutral oil (for frying scallions)
- Sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions:
1. Marinate the chicken: In a bowl, mix soy sauce, oyster sauce, Shaoxing wine, sugar, and minced garlic. Rub the chicken legs thoroughly and let them marinate for at least 30 minutes (or overnight for deeper flavor).
2. Cook the chicken: Heat a pan over medium heat, add the chicken (reserve marinade), and cook for 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15–20 minutes until tender. Set aside.
3. Make scallion oil: In the same pan, heat neutral oil. Add chopped white parts of the scallions and fry until fragrant. Toss in the green parts and cook until slightly crispy.
4. Combine and serve: Pour the scallion oil over the chicken, drizzle with reserved marinade, and garnish with sesame seeds. Serve hot with rice or steamed vegetables.
This dish balances savory, aromatic, and slightly sweet flavors, making it a crowd-pleaser. Enjoy your homemade scallion oil chicken legs!
