ByIngredients
Instructions
- Step 1
Place the honey, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, and cayenne pepper in a gallon-sized zip-top bag. Seal the bag and shake vigorously to combine. Add the garlic and chopped cilantro.
- Step 2
Season the chicken legs liberally with salt and black pepper. Add chicken to the bag. Seal the bag and gently shake to thoroughly coat the chicken with marinade.
- Step 3
Transfer the chicken legs to the refrigerator and marinate for at least 1 hour, and no longer than 8 hours.
- Step 4
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Step 5
Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
- Step 6
Using tongs, arrange chicken legs on the baking sheet, allowing any excess marinade to drip off into the bag.
- Step 7
Roast the chicken legs on middle rack of oven until they are slightly brown, 20-30 minutes.
- Step 8
Set oven to broil. Broil until skin is caramelized and chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165°F, 3-5 minutes. Keep a close eye on chicken to ensure it does not burn.
- Step 9
Check to see that chicken is done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.
- Step 10
Serve with lime wedges and extra honey for drizzling, if desired.
