Throw this together quickly and easily. It can marinate for 10 minutes, or set it up in the morning and refrigerate until you’re ready to cook dinner.

Have two pounds of chicken instead of three? No worries! You’ll have more pan juices and this is NOT a bad thing.

Ingredients

3 pounds chicken drumsticks, thighs or your favorite pieces (skin-on and bones-in will be most flavorful)
1 ½ tablespoon tamari soy sauce
1 tablespoon coconut sugar
2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 large shallots chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400ºF.
2. In a large baking dish, combine all marinade ingredients. Stir well.
3. Add chicken pieces to your baking dish and flip them around a few times in the marinade to coat them real well. Allow to sit for 10 minutes or longer.
4. Right before you’re ready to cook, spoon the marinade with the bits of shallots over the top of the chicken pieces. The shallots will crisp up when they’re on top of the chicken – this is very good.
5. Roast for 30 minutes, then baste with marinade and continue cooking until cooked through – about another 15-20 minutes for legs or thighs.
6. Allow to rest for 10 minutes. Then serve with pan juices spooned on top.

so quick and easy to make! I used bone in, skin on thighs, delicious! Will make again! I didn’t use the sugar as I am avoiding sugar for now, still fabulous.
