• Black pepper, to taste

• 2 tablespoons soy sauce

• 1 teaspoon dark soy sauce (optional, for coloring)

• 1 tablespoon minced garlic

• 1 tablespoon minced ginger

• 1 tablespoon honey (for brushing)

👉🏻✨DIRECTIONS:

1. Wash the chicken legs, pat them dry with kitchen paper, and make a few slashes on both sides for better marinade absorption.
