Sriracha Honey Chicken Legs Recipe

Sriracha Honey Chicken Legs Recipe

  • 2 pounds chicken legs, skin removed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground thyme
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons raw honey
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  2. Combine chicken legs, olive oil, thyme, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Mix chicken legs until coated and arrange on the baking sheet.
  3. Bake in the preheated oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone reads 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), 45 to 50 minutes.
  4. Combine honey, butter, sriracha sauce, and soy sauce in a saucepan over medium-low heat; cook and stir until butter is melted and sauce is smooth, about 5 minutes.
  5. Pour sauce into a large bowl. Transfer chicken from the baking sheet to the bowl using tongs; toss until coated with sauce.
