Grilled Chicken Legs

Ingredients

Intro

Chicken legs can be amazing on the grill. They feed many people and are also cheap to obtain. Marination is key here. The grill will do its job in adding that smokiness, but for flavor, be ready to marinate over night.

Directions

  1. Marinate the chicken legs in your marinade at least 4 hours. Overnight is preferred.
  2. Afterwards, remove the legs and discard the marinade. Don’t be afraid to gently pat the legs dry; leaving marinade on them can start a fire that will burn the legs.
  3. Grill on the hot part of the grill for at least a minute on each side, flipping constantly so as not to burn the legs.
  4. Once the sear is done, move the legs over to the cold part of the grill and cover. After 10-15 minutes, check for done-ness.
