Instructions

Step 1: Marinate the Chicken

  1. In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, olive oil, vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
  2. Place the chicken legs in a large bowl or ziplock bag, and pour the marinade over them.
  3. Mix well to coat, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor).

Step 2: Prepare the Roasted Vegetables

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, toss the potatoes, carrots, bell pepper, and zucchini with olive oil, dried thyme, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Spread the vegetables evenly on a baking sheet.

Step 3: Bake the Chicken & Vegetables

  1. Line a separate baking sheet with parchment paper and place the marinated chicken legs on it.
  2. Pour any remaining marinade over the chicken for extra flavor.
  3. Place both trays in the oven and bake for 35–40 minutes, flipping the chicken halfway through.
  4. Broil the chicken for the last 3–5 minutes to get a caramelized glaze.

Step 4: Serve & Garnish

  1. Remove the chicken and vegetables from the oven.
  2. Sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped green onions over the chicken.
  3. Serve hot with the roasted vegetables on the side.
