Step 1: Preheat the Oven and Prep the Baking Sheet
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Prepare the Chicken
Pat the chicken legs or wings dry with paper towels. Season them lightly with salt and pepper.
Step 3: Make the Caramelized Glaze
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, olive oil, brown sugar, garlic, paprika, black pepper, salt, and optional ginger.
Step 4: Coat the Chicken
Place the chicken on the baking sheet. Pour the glaze over the chicken and use a brush or spoon to coat the chicken pieces evenly with the sauce.
Step 5: Bake the Chicken
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 35-45 minutes, flipping the chicken halfway through for even cooking. The chicken should be golden and crispy when done.
Step 6: Garnish and Serve
Once the chicken is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot.
Notizen
Substitutions: You can use chicken thighs instead of legs or wings, but be sure to adjust cooking times as thighs take slightly longer to cook.For Spicier Chicken: Add a pinch of chili flakes or a splash of hot sauce to the glaze for extra heat.
