Wash the chicken legs and pat them dry using paper towels. Dry chicken helps the sauce stick better. Place them on a tray and keep them ready for seasoning.

Take a saucepan and add soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, ketchup, vinegar, garlic and ginger. Cook on low heat for 5 minutes. Stir until smooth and slightly thick.

Place chicken legs in a large bowl. Add salt, black pepper and olive oil. Mix well so every piece is coated evenly. This step builds a good base flavor.

Pour half of the sticky sauce over the chicken. Mix well using your hands or spoon. Make sure each piece is fully coated with the sauce.

Line a baking tray with foil or parchment paper. Place chicken legs in a single layer. Do not overcrowd the tray. This helps even cooking and better texture.

Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Bake chicken for 25 minutes. Take it out and brush more sauce on top. Return to oven and bake for another 20 minutes.

In the last 5 minutes, brush the remaining sauce on the chicken. This creates a thick sticky glaze. The surface will look shiny and rich.

Remove chicken from oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. This helps juices settle inside. Serve warm and enjoy the sticky, flavorful chicken legs.
