Caramelized Baked Chicken Legs or Wings

Ingredients:

2 lbs chicken legs or wings
½ cup soy sauce
½ cup honey
¼ cup ketchup
1 tbsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp ground ginger
½ tsp black pepper
Instructions:

Prepare the Marinade:
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, ketchup, olive oil, minced garlic, ground ginger, and black pepper until well combined.

Marinate the Chicken:
Place the chicken legs or wings in a large bowl or zip-top bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or overnight for deeper flavor).

Preheat the Oven:
Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly grease it with cooking spray.

Bake the Chicken:
Arrange the marinated chicken pieces in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is golden brown and caramelized.

Broil for Extra Caramelization (Optional):
For a more caramelized finish, broil the chicken for 2-3 minutes at the end of baking, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.

Serve:
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy with your favorite side dishes!
