Ingredients:

• 2 1/2 lbs chicken legs
• 1 2/3 tablespoons olive oil (to prevent sticking)
• 1/2 cup soy sauce
• 1 2/3 tablespoons ketchup
• 3/4 cup honey
• 2 – 3 garlic cloves, minced
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Directions:

1. Preheat Oven:
   • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius).
2. Prepare Chicken:
   • Place chicken in a 9×13 inch baking dish.
3. Make Sauce:
   • In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, soy sauce, ketchup, honey, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
4. Pour Sauce Over Chicken:
   • Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken in the baking dish, ensuring the chicken is well coated.
5. Bake:
   • Bake in the preheated oven for one hour or until the sauce is caramelized, and the chicken is thoroughly cooked.
6. Serve:
   • Once done, remove from the oven. Optionally, garnish with sesame seeds or chopped green onions. Serve the honey garlic baked chicken over rice or with your preferred side dishes.

Notes:

• For a twist, you can also use chicken wings or pork ribs with the same sauce for baking.
• Keep an eye on the chicken to prevent burning, and adjust cooking time if needed based on your oven’s temperature
