Sriracha Honey Glazed Leg Quarters





Ingredients

4 leg quarters

1/2 tsp. salt

1 C. Sriracha sauce

1/2 C. honey

4 tbsp. lime juice

4 garlic cloves chopped fine, or 1 tbsp. garlic paste



Directions

1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees. While the oven is heating, salt chicken and place it skin-side down in a hot skillet. Cook chicken over medium-high heat and allow the chicken skin to brown. Some of the fat in the chicken should render while the chicken is browning, so there is no need to place oil in the pan. Flip chicken over and allow it to brown on the other side.

2) In a small bowl combine Sriracha sauce, honey, lime juice and garlic. Whisk the sauce together. Reserve two tablespoons of the sauce for serving with the finished chicken. Place sauce into a large bowl. Place the leg quarters one at a time, and coat with the Sriracha sauce. Place chicken on a wire rack on a baking sheet. Repeat with remaining pieces of chicken.

3) Bake chicken for about 45 minutes or until the chicken is pierced with a sharp knife and the juices run clear. Serve chicken with remaining sauce.
