Begin by gathering all your ingredients to make the cooking process smooth.
In a large bowl, blend the soy sauce, minced garlic, brown sugar, black pepper, and sesame oil. Mix everything together until the sugar dissolves.
Add the chicken legs to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Let them marinate for at least 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Once marinated, place the chicken legs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Pour any leftover marinade over the chicken for added flavor.
Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is crispy. You can use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
While the chicken is cooking, finely chop the green onion to use as a garnish.
Once the chicken is finished, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before garnishing it with the chopped green onion.
Serve hot and enjoy your delicious garlic soy sauce chicken legs.
