Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200 degrees Celsius (about 400 degrees Fahrenheit).
- In a small bowl, combine ground cumin, ground coriander, ground cinnamon, ground turmeric, paprika powder, minced garlic clove, grated fresh ginger, salt, and ground black pepper.
- Add olive oil and fresh lemon juice to the spice mixture and stir well to form a paste.
- Pat the whole chicken leg dry with paper towels to ensure the skin crisps up.
- Rub the spice paste all over the chicken leg, making sure to cover under the skin and all sides evenly.
- Place the spiced chicken leg on a roasting tray lined with foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 75 degrees Celsius (165 degrees Fahrenheit) and the skin is golden and crispy.
- Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute.
Tips
- Marinate the chicken for 1 hour or overnight for deeper flavor.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure perfect doneness.
- Serve with fresh lemon wedges for extra zest.
