Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Sriracha Honey Glazed Chicken Legs.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and lining a baking sheet with aluminum foil for a hassle-free cleanup.
Step 2
In a spacious bowl, toss the chicken legs with a drizzle of olive oil, then sprinkle in ground thyme, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Give everything a good mix until the chicken is beautifully coated in those flavorful seasonings.
Step 4
Next, lay the seasoned chicken legs out on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they have a bit of space to breathe.
Step 5
Pop the baking sheet into your preheated oven and let the chicken bake for about 45 to 50 minutes.
Step 6
You’ll know it’s ready when the internal temperature hits 165°F (74°C) near the bone, ensuring juicy, perfectly cooked chicken.
Step 7
While the chicken is baking, let’s whip up a delicious honey sriracha sauce.
Step 8
In a saucepan over medium-low heat, combine honey, butter, sriracha sauce, and soy sauce.
Step 9
Stir gently until the butter melts and the mixture becomes smooth and inviting, which should take around 5 minutes.
Step 10
Once your chicken is done baking, carefully transfer it to a large bowl using tongs.
Step 11
Drizzle that luscious honey sriracha sauce over the chicken and toss everything together until each piece is generously coated.
Step 12
Enjoy the delightful combination of flavors and the satisfaction of a homemade meal!.
