How to Make Lime Paprika And Honey Glazed Chicken

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a shallow dish, whisk together 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons paprika, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Toss 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken legs in the flour mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated. Place in a large roasting pan with 1 large chopped onion.
  4. Drizzle chicken and onions with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Roast for 20 minutes, flipping chicken halfway through.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon grated ginger, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/4 cup honey, and 1/4 cup chicken stock.
  6. Pour honey-ginger mixture over the chicken. Add 2 lime wedges to the roasting pan.
  7. Roast for another 10-15 minutes, or until chicken is golden brown, crispy, and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  8. Serve immediately over steamed rice, garnished with Asian greens (e.g., bok choy, gai lan) and fresh cilantro.
