Honey Garlic Chicken Legs - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 chicken legs
1/3 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 cup liquid honey
2 tablespoons hot water
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
2 -3 garlic cloves, minced

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350F
Put chicken legs, skin side up, on a foil covered baking sheet. In a bowl, stir together remaining ingredients. Pour half of this sauce into another bowl and set aside to use as a dipping sauce.
Brush some of the remaining mixture onto each chicken leg. Bake for 40 minutes or until a thermometer inserted into the drumsticks reads 170F (77C). Brush the chicken legs with sauce every 10 minutes during baking.
Warm the saved sauce in the microwave for 30-40 seconds on high. Serve as a dipping sauce for the chicken. Serve chicken legs with a salad and rice or potatoes.
TIP: 8 bone-in chicken thighs can be used instead of 4 chicken legs.
