How to Make Chili And Honey Chicken Legs
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Position the oven rack in the upper third of the oven.
- Line a 15x10 inch shallow baking pan with aluminum foil. Place a large oiled metal rack inside the pan. This allows for even cooking and crispy skin.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons chili powder, 1/4 cup honey, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Add 1.5 lbs of chicken legs and toss gently to ensure they are fully coated in the glaze.
- Arrange the chicken legs in a single layer on the prepared metal rack. Bake for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the glaze is caramelized and slightly sticky. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
- Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
