Caramelized Baked Chicken Legs/Wings

djmastermum's Note:

Delicious! Yummy caramelized legs, kids love these! So quick and easy and no marinating required. Just prepare the sauce, pour over the chook and pop in the oven! I actually like this with wings better ;-) VERY IMPORTANT TO LEAVE IT IN THE OVEN UNTIL IT HAS CARAMALISED TO AVOID DISAPPOINMENT. Thank you to everyone for their positive reviews! Try adding Sambal Oelek as Chef #27416 has suggested in his review. What a great idea ;-)

These were delish! I boiled my frozen wings for ablout 15 min. to thaw and render some of the fat. I baked them at 400 degrees until they were brown and crispy and then basted them with the sauce. Perfectly carmelized and so good...was glad I had no-stick foil, worked very well! Thanks for posting this recipe!

I've made these a few times now. Exactly as written, both legs and wings. My husband LOVES them and I especially like that it uses up the honey and soy sauce that seem to be around our house for a long time. So easy to put together and very yummy. I think every ingredient is super important so wouldn't leave anything out. I once served them as an appetizer with both a sweet and sour dip and a spicy chili dip. Yummy!!

really good but here are the changes i made.
***(if u have time marinate the chicken for few hours before putting in the oven)
****also, the "sauce" will be too thin, so I baste the chicken with it every 20 min or so. Also, after an hour, turn the oven up to 350 and leave chicken there till u see it brown up). Total time for me is about 1.5 hours. And we use a lot more garlic then this!
