  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. Step 3

    Transfer the chicken legs to the refrigerator and marinate for at least 1 hour, and no longer than 8 hours.

  4. Step 4

    Preheat the oven to 375°F.

  5. Step 5

    Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray.

  6. Step 6

    Using tongs, arrange chicken legs on the baking sheet, allowing any excess marinade to drip off into the bag.

  7. Step 7

    Roast the chicken legs on middle rack of oven until they are slightly brown, 20-30 minutes.

  8. 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.

  9. Step 9

    Check to see that chicken is done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.

  10. Step 10

    Serve with lime wedges and extra honey for drizzling, if desired.
