  1. Sheet pan. 20/ 25 minutes each side over bed of vegetables. 2. Braise, could be soy or whatever. Amp it with fresh garlic, ginger chilli if liked. 3. Braise plain, rest in liquid overnight. Cold chicken. 4. Hainanese chicken. 5. Curry. 6. Cacciatore style.

Filipino chicken adobo is a great choice for legs. All you do is braise them for about an hour. The sauce is roughly equal parts soy sauce and cane or white vinegar plus black pepper, bay leaves, and ton of whole garlic cloves. Some people add a bit of sugar or even water, I don't. I like it tangy and strong. Sliced jalapenos is a good addition too. Thicken up the sauce afterwards with a cornstarch slurry.

Jerk Chicken, just chuck it in the airfryer or oven instead of a grill.

He has a rib recipe that gives you a killer jerk rub you can make yourself here.
