Sous Vide Ginger Marmalade Chicken

Sweet marmalade + slightly spicy ginger + perfectly juicy sous vide chicken legs make one winning combination. Of course I had to bring them together to create a dish that would be perfect for a weeknight, a dinner party, or even Hanukkah!

Prep Time: 04:00

Recipe Time: 04:25

Temperature : 170F / 76.7C

Ingredients

2 lbs or 4 pieces bone-in & skin-on chicken legs
4 Tbsp prepared marmalade of your choosing
2 Tbsp minced ginger (about 2
Salt & pepper

Directions

Set your Anova to 170º F/ 76.5ºC.
Season chicken with salt & pepper
Place all of your ingredients in the bag you plan to use and seal after releasing air with immersion method.
Place bag into prepared water bath and set timer for 4 hours.

Finishing Steps

Remove from water bath and transfer to a baking tray (I like to line mine with parchment paper for easy cleanup!)
Heat your broiler to 500ºF/260ºC/High setting. Arrange the rack beneath to be 8”/~20cm away from the heat.*
Place the chicken in the oven and broil for 8 - 10 minutes, until the skin turns golden brown and slightly crisped.
Remove from oven, serve, and enjoy!
*If you have a low profile bottom-of-stove broiler or just a salamander, reduce the cooking time to 4 - 5 minutes, and keep an eye on it to make sure you don’t char the skin! Alternately, you are welcome to torch as opposed to using the oven.
