Cooking steps
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°f (180c). Grease a baking dish and add leeks and chicken pieces. Combine all the marinade ingredients in a bowl and pour over chickens. Use your hands to rub all over chicken and leeks. Make sure chicken is bone side down and use your hand to scoop up the saucy leeks and place them on top of the chicken. Combine hot water and onion soup mix. Pour in the side of the dish. Cover baking dish tightly with parchment paper then foil. Bake for 50 minutes. Remove dish, uncover and baste the chicken. Cook uncovered for another 30 minutes basting the chicken every 5 minutes (the mere you baste the sticker the chicken will get!!) Serve hot and enjoy!
