To do this, take oranges and squeeze the juice out of them. Rub the ginger root (you should have about 30 grams of chopped seasoning). In a bowl, combine the ginger, orange juice, two tablespoons of chili sauce, three tablespoons of soy sauce, and whisk together. When the chicken is done, add the finely chopped herbs to the sauce and generously pour the mixture over the chicken legs before serving.
