Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F /190°C/ Gas mark5. This temperature will ensure the chicken cooks evenly and develops a beautiful glaze.

This will be your marinade and glaze.½ cup Soy sauce, ⅓ cup Honey, 1 tsp Garlic powder, 1 tsp Onion powder, ½ tsp Salt, ¼ tsp Black pepper, 2 tbsp Rice vinegar, 1 tbsp Sesame oil
- Marinate chicken: Place the chicken legs in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. Seal the bag, cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. For the best results, marinate the chicken for 2-4 hours or even overnight for maximum flavor.8 Chicken legs
- Prepare baking dish: Grease or line a large dish with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Arrange chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it in the prepared baking dish, skin side up. Pour the marinade over.
- Bake: Transfer to the oven and bake the chicken legs in the preheated oven for about 35-45 minutes. Baste the chicken with the reserved marinade every 15 minutes or so. This will help create a flavorful glaze and keep the chicken moist.
- Check doneness: To ensure the chicken is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. It should reach 165°F (74°C). If the chicken is not done yet, continue baking and basting until it reaches the desired temperature.
- Garnish and serve: Remove the chicken from the oven once perfectly cooked. Garnish with chopped cilantro, sesame seeds, or chopped green onions if desired. Serve your delicious Baked Honey Soy Chicken with steamed rice or your favorite side dishes.Sesame seeds and chopped green onions
