Got any Oriental recipes for Chicken legs? This isn't a silly question. Legs taste really different from wings. After an hour's perusal of my Chinese cookbooks recently, I decided that the best I could do was to adapt a red-cooked whole chicken recipe to legs. Any ideas? I've got some legs to cook. - Toby Robison (not Robinson!) allegra!eosp1!robison or: decvax!ittvax!eosp1!robison or (emergency): princeton!eosp1!robison

Overnight marinade produces more red. Addition of fresh ginger, red peppers (or hot oil), and/or crushed garlic to the marinade all produce excellent variations. Steaming the marinaded legs instead of roasting is very different, but also delicious. Nemo
