Critical Success Points

  • Season and incise the leg so the flavors penetrate.
  • Properly wrap the leg in parchment paper then aluminum foil to cook it en papillote.
  • Brush the leg with butter before the final cooking to achieve a nice color.

Safety Warnings

  • Handle the hot oven and aluminum foil with kitchen gloves.
  • Use a sharp knife for the incisions to avoid slipping.
  • Ensure the meat reaches at least 63 °C internal temperature if you prefer it medium.
