Prepare the Marinade
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, chopped green onion, and black pepper. Mix well until sugar is dissolved.
  2. Add the chicken legs to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably 2 hours.

  3. Cook for 25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is crispy.
  4. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
