Directions
-
Mix soy sauce, wine, oil and ginger (add 1~2 tsp sugar or other sweeteners if you like sweet flavors).

Clean chicken thighs and legs. Remove excess fat and also poke a few times with your knife.
-
Massage chicken with your hands in the soy ginger sauce and leave to marinate for 2 hours at room temperature.
-
Preheat oven to 350° F (175° C). In a heavy (oven safe) pan or dutch oven large enough to hold all thighs/legs in a single layer, heat 2 Tbs EVOO over medium high heat. When oil is hot, sear chicken pieces, skin side down for 4-5 minutes or more until golden brown. Turn over and brown the other side for another 4 minutes until golden brown. Remove chicken and set aside.
-
With the pan still hot, add onion slices and lemon slices. Cook until onions have wilted and brown bits on bottom of pan have loosened. 5-7 minutes. Turn heat off.
-
Place chicken pieces, skin-side up on top of onion mixture. Pour juice of 1/2 lemon and 1 Tbs of sake or mirin.
-
Cover and transfer pan to oven and bake for 40 – 45 minutes.
