Shio Koji is a great seasoning which can tenderise meat. When you cook the chicken in the oven, you can just use Shio Koji as you put salt on it.

How to cook Roasted Chicken Legs marinated with Shio Koji
1: Prepare the chicken legs as you usually do, like make some cuts or prick the chicken skin with a fork.
2: Apply Shio Koji and your favourite seasonings on the chicken (I put grated garlic and black pepper).
3: Leave them at least for 30 mins and cook in the oven. You don’t have to remove the Shio Koji from the chicken.

Shio Koji is less salty than the normal salt, so I would recommend using a double amount of the salt alone.
