  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons dark soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 400F degrees F. Line a baking dish with aluminum foil (optional); set aside.
  • Layer the chicken legs on the baking dish. In a small bowl combine the garlic, honey, soy, and vinegar. Whisk until fully combined. Pour mixture onto chicken legs, coating evenly.
