利用檸檬及香橙的天然清新味道令擁有香脆外皮的雞腿變得清爽、不油膩。另外,低溫慢焗把嫩滑肉質得以保留。即使用上簡單食材及有限時間,也可使味道十分出色,口感不會輸給新鮮雞腿。
在很早以前,也推出過檸檬雞的食譜 檸檬蜜糖雞,味道略為濃一點、惹味一點。相比之下,這次的檸檬雞食譜比較清爽天然,口感上較有層次。各有特色,各具參考價值。
檸檬蜜糖雞
材料
- 雞腿 1 隻
- 檸檬 1 個
- 香橙 1 個
- 蜜糖 3 茶匙
- 鹽及黑胡椒粉 少許
- 蒜 1 瓣
步驟
- 把雞腿洗淨抹乾,在外層界開 2-3 刀。
- 撒下鹽、黑胡椒粉及蒜蓉醃一下雞腿,時間最少為 15 分鐘。
- 把焗爐預熱,溫度為 160C。(如用光波爐不太需要預熱)
- 用少許油起鑊,把雞腿以皮向下的方式煎香,然後反轉微微煎另一面。此方法除了令外皮變得金黃香脆,還令皮下脂肪卸下。
- 在慢慢煎香雞腿時,準備好一個小碗,把檸檬屑、檸檬汁、香橙屑、半個香橙汁及蜜糖混合拌勻,製成清新酸甜的醬汁。
- 完成煎香雞腿後,把雞腿取出至焗盤內 (皮向上),淋上醬汁,請保留2-3 茶匙的醬汁備用。另外,撒上少許鹽在雞皮上,令外皮更脆。放入焗爐焗 20 分鐘。
- 20 分鐘後,把半個香橙汁淋在雞腿上,焗多 5 分鐘。取出後,輕輕加入少量醬汁在表面,完成。
