Latin-Spiced Chicken in Lettuce Cups

I got my new edition of Food and Wine magazine the other day and I saw this recipe in there and decided to make it! Thank you Bill Telepan for the recipe.

Guys - this isn't hard to do. Just mix everything up in the morning and let it sit for 4 hours. The only hard work you end up doing is chopping up all the ingredients, which isn't that hard!

Ingredients:

1. Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2. 1 tablespoon chile powder
3. 1 tablespoon dried oregano
4. 3 garlic cloves, minced
5. 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
6. 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
7. 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
8. 6 whole chicken legs (about 4 1/2 pounds)—excess fat trimmed, skin scored
9. 1 pound Savoy cabbage, finely shredded (8 cups)
10. 1/2 small red onion, very thinly sliced
11. 2 jalapeños, seeded and minced
12. 3 tablespoons chopped cilantro
13. 16 large Boston lettuce leaves

1. In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon each of salt and pepper with the chile powder, oregano, garlic, orange juice and 2 tablespoons each of the lime juice and olive oil. Put the chicken legs on a large rimmed baking sheet and coat all over with the spiced oil. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours.
2. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the remaining 1/4 cup each of lime juice and olive oil. Add the cabbage, onion, jalapeños and cilantro. Season the slaw with salt and pepper and refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to 5 hours, tossing occasionally.
3. Preheat the oven to 400°. Roast the chicken legs skin side up for about 40 minutes, until browned and cooked through. When cool enough to handle, discard the skin and bones and shred the chicken.
4. Arrange the lettuce on a platter and fill with the chicken; top with the slaw and serve.
