How to Make Chinese Chicken Legs
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking pan or dish with foil for easy cleanup.
- In a large bowl, whisk together: 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, 1 teaspoon grated ginger, 1 clove minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional), and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Add 4 lbs bone-in, skin-on chicken legs to the bowl and toss to coat evenly, ensuring all pieces are well-covered in the sauce.
- Arrange chicken legs in a single layer in the prepared baking pan.
- Spoon any remaining sauce over the chicken.
- Cover the baking pan loosely with foil.
- Bake for 20 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for another 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon sesame seeds before serving.
- Serve the Chinese Chicken Legs hot, drizzled with any remaining sauce from the baking pan. Serve with rice or your favorite vegetable for a complete meal.
