Step 1
Pat chicken legs dry with paper towels. Season all over with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
Step 2
Whisk BBQ sauce and honey together in a small bowl until combined.
Step 3
Arrange chicken skin-side up on a sheet pan. Brush generously with half the BBQ mixture.
Step 4
Broil 4 inches from the heat for 12 minutes, then flip and brush with remaining sauce.
Step 5
Broil 8–10 minutes more until skin is charred and caramelized; meat pulls back from bones.
Step 6
Rest 2 minutes, then serve hot from the pan.
