Notes
- Ensure that the chicken legs/wings are evenly coated with the caramelizing sauce, which often includes ingredients like brown sugar, soy sauce, and garlic, to achieve a rich flavor and beautiful glaze; consider marinating them for at least an hour or overnight for the best results.
- Cook the chicken at a high temperature (around 400°F/200°C) to promote caramelization, and turn them halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning and to prevent burning; use a meat thermometer to check for doneness, aiming for an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
