Step 1
Preheat oven to 425°F. Pat chicken legs dry with paper towels, then arrange on a sheet pan skin-side up.
Step 2
Whisk together BBQ sauce, hot sauce, honey, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and olive oil in a bowl.
Step 3
Spoon glaze evenly over the chicken, coating all sides. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 4
Roast for 18–22 minutes until skin is bronzed and crispy, internal temp reaches 165°F at the thickest part.
Step 5
Remove from oven. Brush any pan glaze over the chicken one more time for shine.
Step 6
Rest for 2 minutes, then serve hot with extra sauce on the side if desired.
