Ingredients
  

For the Chicken:
  • 3 lbs chicken leg quarters with skin (about 4 leg quarters)
For the Sauce:
  • 4 cloves garlic minced

  • 2 tablespoons dark soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar

Method
 

Cooking Steps:
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the minced garlic, honey, dark soy sauce, and white vinegar. Whisk until well blended.
  4. Pour the honey garlic sauce over the chicken leg quarters, ensuring each piece is well coated.
  5. Bake for about 45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is golden and crispy.
  6. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
