  • Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
  • Yield: 4-6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 10-12 Chicken legs
  • Scallions, for garnish

For the Chili Garlic Sauce:

  • 2 tbs. honey
  • 2 tsp. fish sauce
  • 1 tbs. Chili garlic sauce
  • 1 tsp. sugar
  • 1 tsp. apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. sesame oil
  • 1 tsp. black pepper
  • 1 tsp. sesame seeds

Instructions

For the Chili Garlic Sauce:

  • Combine all of the ingredients for the sauce in a small bowl and stir.
  • NOTE: I made three batches of this sauce.  One to toss with the raw chicken legs; a second batch to coat the chicken legs half way through cooking; and a third batch to serve for dipping.

For the Chicken Legs:

  1. Preheat Oven 350 degrees F.
  2. Toss the raw chicken legs with the Chili garlic sauce.
  3. Place the chicken legs in a large cast iron frying pan and place in the oven.  Do not overcrowd the pan. You may need to use two pans.
  4. Bake for 30 minutes.
  5. Remove the chicken legs from the oven and brush with the second batch of sauce and return to the oven for 25-30 minutes.
  6. The internal temperature of the legs should be 165 degrees Fahrenheit.  The cooking time also depends on the size of the chicken legs.
  7. Remove from the oven and serve with extra Chili garlic sauce and garnish with scallions.
