Ingredients
Scale
8 chicken legs (thighs and drumsticks)
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup soy sauce
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced or grated
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons of water
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, ginger, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and black pepper to prepare the marinade.
Place the chicken legs in a large zip-top bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag or cover the dish and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. Arrange the marinated chicken legs on the rack, ensuring they aren’t touching. Bake for 35 minutes.
Remove the chicken from the oven and brush a layer of the reserved marinade over the top. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is crispy.
To thicken the glaze, transfer the remaining marinade to a small saucepan, bring to a boil, add the cornstarch mixture, and stir until thickened. Drizzle over the baked chicken before serving.
