HONEY GARLIC CHICKEN DRUMSTICKS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy clean up. Add a wire rack on top if possible.
• In a small saucepan over medium heat, add oil. When hot, stir in garlic and onions: cook for a few minutes, stirring constantly.
• Add honey and soy sauce. Stir together the broth and cornstarch. Pour into pan and bring to a boil. Cook until the sauce has thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Pat chicken so it is dry. Place onto rack and season with salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes.
• Place into oven and cook for 10 minutes. Flip chicken and cook for another 10 minutes. Coat chicken with some sauce and cook for another 5 minutes. Flip one more time and coat the other side of the chicken. Cook for 5-10 minutes, or until chicken reaches 180 - 190 degrees F and juices run clean.
• Serve chicken with rice and steamed veggies if desired (and do not forget to pour on any extra sauce that is remaining!)

SLOW COOKER HONEY GARLIC CHICKEN LEGS

Steps:

• With the minced onions and pepper season the chicken.
• Next, pour the chicken broth into the slow cooker and place seasoned chicken on top.
• In a bowl add your honey, garlic, soy sauce, and mix well. Pour this mixture over your chicken.
• Set to low for 5-6 hours or until the chicken is cooked. Once the chicken is cooked remove from slow cooker. Mix the cornstarch and water together and stir into the sauce in slow cooker.
• Place chicken back into the slow cooker and turn to high for 20 minutes. This will thicken the sauce.
• When finished serve on a bed of rice if you would like and garnish.

HONEY GARLIC CHICKEN LEGS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the chicken in a sided baking dish, just large enough to hold them in a single layer. Combine remaining ingredients, except garnish, and spoon over the chicken. Bake 40-45 minutes, basting the chicken frequently with the honey/garlic sauce, or until cooked through. Recipes Options: For a lighter version of this dish, remove the skin from the chicken before cooking. If you prefer white meat, substitute bone-in, chicken breasts for the legs. If you like things hot and spicy, mix Asian-style hot sauce to taste into the honey/garlic mixture before spooning over the chicken.

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a large baking pan with parchment paper or grease with cooking spray. Place chicken legs on pan and season with salt and pepper on both sides. Set aside.

• Bake for 15 minutes, then remove chicken from oven and brush remaining glaze over chicken. Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
• If desired, broil chicken legs under high heat for 2-4 minutes to get the skins extra crisp. Serve immediately.

HONEY-GARLIC CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Season chicken with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
• Heat a pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken and sear until golden, 10 to 12 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the centers should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Drain most of the excess grease from the pan, leaving about 2 tablespoons behind.
• Arrange chicken thighs skin-side down in the pan. Place crushed garlic between the chicken and fry until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add honey, water, vinegar, and soy sauce. Increase heat to medium-high and cook until sauce reduces down and thickens slightly, 3 to 4 minutes.
