Easiest Way to Make Honey Lemon Chicken Recipe

Sriracha Honey Chicken Legs

The acidity of the lemon juice works like buttermilk to tenderize the chicken.

Recipe Summary Sriracha Honey Chicken Legs

This is a Korean-style sweet and spicy sauce. It is very good on baked or grilled chicken.

Ingredients | Honey Lemon Chicken Recipe

2 pounds chicken legs, skin removed

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 ½ teaspoons ground thyme

1 ½ teaspoons garlic powder

1 teaspoon ground paprika

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground black pepper

3 tablespoons raw honey

3 tablespoons butter

2 tablespoons sriracha sauce

1 ½ tablespoons soy sauce

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

Combine chicken legs, olive oil, thyme, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Mix chicken legs until coated and arrange on the baking sheet.

Bake in the preheated oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone reads 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), 45 to 50 minutes.

Combine honey, butter, sriracha sauce, and soy sauce in a saucepan over medium-low heat; cook and stir until butter is melted and sauce is smooth, about 5 minutes.

Pour sauce into a large bowl. Transfer chicken from the baking sheet to the bowl using tongs; toss until coated with sauce.

This isn't quite a Paleo dish because of the sriracha, and it isn't 100% low carb because of the honey, so I have labeled it primal since it's somewhere in between.
