Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius).
-
Prepare Baking Pan: Butter a 13×9-inch baking pan to prevent sticking.

Arrange Chicken: Place the chicken legs evenly in the prepared baking dish.

-
Coat Chicken: Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken legs, ensuring they are evenly coated. Toss gently to coat each piece thoroughly.
-
Bake First Round: Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, stirring the chicken twice during cooking. This will help ensure even cooking and allow the sauce to thicken and caramelize.

Add Garnish: Stir in the chopped green onions and sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds over the chicken.
-
Final Bake: Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked through, and the sauce is bubbling and has thickened to your liking.
