Removing the skin from the chicken legs allows the spices in vindaloo paste to penetrate the meat, while yogurt locks in moisture during cooking.

Time 45m

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup plain yogurt (not low-fat; preferably Greek-style)
1/4 cup chopped fresh mint leaves
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons vindaloo paste (preferably Patak's brand)
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon black pepper
6 whole chicken legs (thigh and drumstick; 3 3/4 pounds), skin discarded

Steps:

  • Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 500°F. Line rack of a broiler pan with foil.
  • Stir together all ingredients except chicken in a large bowl until combined well. Coat both sides of chicken legs well with yogurt mixture (use all of it), then transfer to broiler pan, arranging them in 1 layer.
  • Roast chicken until charred in some spots and cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes.
