- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon chives, chopped

- Bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the thickest part of the chicken legs reaches 165 degrees.
- Toss the chicken legs with the remaining half of the sauce, garnish with the sesame seeds and chives and serve immediately. Enjoy!
