3 cloves garlic, peeled
2 medium shallots, peeled and quartered
1 Scotch bonnet or habanero chili, seeded and quartered
2 teaspoons chopped fresh ginger
1/2 cup flatleaf parsley leaves
1/4 cup chopped fresh chives or scallion greens
1/2 teaspoon fresh or dried thyme

Pinch of ground allspice
1/3 cup fresh lime juice, or more, to taste

Finely chop the garlic, shallots, chili, ginger, parsley and chives in a food processor. Add remaining ingredients, and process just to mix. Add 1/4 cup boiling water, and process to mix. Run the machine in short bursts until you have a coarse puree. If desired, add more salt or lime juice, to taste. The sauce can be served immediately, but it becomes more flavorful if you let it sit for an hour.

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

2 pounds chicken legs, skin removed
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 ½ teaspoons ground thyme
1 ½ teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
3 tablespoons raw honey
3 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
1 ½ tablespoons soy sauce

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
Combine chicken legs, olive oil, thyme, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Mix chicken legs until coated and arrange on the baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone reads 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), 45 to 50 minutes.
Combine honey, butter, sriracha sauce, and soy sauce in a saucepan over medium-low heat; cook and stir until butter is melted and sauce is smooth, about 5 minutes.
Pour sauce into a large bowl. Transfer chicken from the baking sheet to the bowl using tongs; toss until coated with sauce.
