GRILLED BBQ CHICKEN LEGS
I've adapted this recipe from many other recipes, taking things that i've liked and things I didn't like as much out. I love this simple recipe as it brings simple BBQing to another level. It all starts off with the brine/marinade. I find that a few hours of brining is usually enough, but for this recipe longer really is better. I usually at least brine my legs for at least 12 hours (Meaning, I usually end up start the brining process at night and let it brine until lunch or dinner the next day).

Steps:
- Mix all brine/marinade ingredients in a large bowl and then separate into zip lock bags and add chicken.
- Chill and marinade for at least 4 hours or more (I usually brine mine for 12 hours).
- Grill chicken on a well oiled grill until browned on all sides, turning only once, about 15 to 20 mins each side. (A good indicator that legs are being cooked well in the inside is by observing blood seeping out from the top of the legs).
- Since all grills run at different temperatures, (if possible) make sure that grill is covered first and allowed to raise to 400 degrees before uncovering the grill, oiling the racks, and placing the legs onto the grill. This will help your grilling off to a great start.
- Depending on your environment, grill your chicken without the cover as the sudden increase in heat can turn your legs to charcoal.
- Towards the end of your grilling(5-10 mins) liberally spread a bbq of your choice (I like "Sweet Baby Ray's") on to one side of the chicken. Then (if possible) place chicken legs on a top rack for indirect heat with the bbq side of the leg down and the none bbq'd side up.
- Spread the other side with bbq now and let the bbq really caramelize onto the legs for 5-10mins on indirect heat.(if you dont have a top rack, just reduce this time to 3 to 5mins).
- Now take the legs off the grill and Wah-Lah! You've just made some amazing BBQ'd legs. Bon Appetite!
- *All grills have hot spots so be mindful of these spots and switch your chicken around the grill as not to completely char them.

Steps:
- Preheat grill to 350 degrees F.
- In a small bowl combine all the rub ingredients, set mixture aside.
- Pat chicken dry with paper towel. Place chicken in a plastic resealable bag or bowl. Add olive oil and toss to coat.
- Add spice mixture to bag or bowl and toss to coat chicken legs.
- Place chicken legs on preheated grill over direct heat. Grill for 30 minutes, rotating every 10 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature 165 degrees F. I actually prefer my chicken legs about 180-190 degrees so they fall off the bone and there's no bloody spots around the bone.

Steps:
- Heat the grill to 350F.
- Toss the chicken drumsticks in Steve's Basic BBQ Rub. Place on the grill and cook for 10 minutes. Keep the lid closed as much as possible, but watch for any flare ups. If there is a flare up, turn down the heat and more the chicken away from the flame.
- Use tongs to turn the drumsticks over and cook another 10 minutes.
- Brush with BBQ sauce and flip the drumsticks again. Cook for 5 more minutes, or until the internal temperature of the drumsticks is at least 165F (I prefer chicken drumsticks to have an internal temperature around 180F)
- Remove from the grill and brush one more time with BBQ sauce. Serve.

- Ah the Mighty Drumstick. If you’re a fan of meat on the bone, then you’ve gotta be a fan of the chicken leg. They have a ton of flavor, are tender and juicy and just look really cool! They are also perfect for slow cooking on the grill over the open flame. Because of the bone itself, chicken legs need to be cooked a bit differently than boneless chicken breasts or thighs. Rather than very intense heat for a short period of time, with chicken legs, you want to use indirect heat, over a longer timeframe. That technique allows you to get the chicken legs cooked all they way through (raw meat next to the bone is NO good), without burning the outside of the chicken.
- Here I show you how to grill some BBQ chicken legs on a gas grill, but the same fundamental techniques apply for a charcoal grill too. In fact, you’d use just about all the same methods even if you were to cook them inside in the oven.
- Now, the number one question I always get is, "HOW LONG DO I GRILL THE CHICKEN LEGS FOR?" The sad reality, is there is no magic number of minutes. The chicken legs, you're grilling may be a bit smaller or bigger than "average". Your grill might be a bit hotter or cooler, than mine. So, there's going to be some variablity in the time you need to cook them. That said, I typically find that I take about 35 - 50 mintues to cook them. I could get them cooked faster over direct heat, but I'd have to closely watch them; and of course you can go slower...and smoke them for hours. So...the safest way to judge the time is to use a meat thermometer and get them to an intermal temp of about 185. After you cook them a few times; you'll be able to judge by sight and feel.

- Then, prepare chicken dry rub by mixing together all of the spices in a medium bowl. You should get around 4.5 tablespoons of dry rub.
- Prep chicken legs (leave the skin on) by fully coating each leg with 1-2 teaspoons of dry rub. Use your hands to rub into each part of the leg and make sure that every part is fully coated. You may have leftover dry rub. This is okay! Store it in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
- Spray your grill grates with nonstick cooking spray and then grill chicken legs directly on the flame at 425ºF for around 15-20 minutes or until the legs have reached 165ºF internally. Rotate the legs every 5 minutes.

- Pat dry the chicken legs with paper towel, then evenly apply the rub all over the chicken legs. The rub should stick to the chicken fairly easily without adding any oil. If not, rub the chicken legs with a small amount of oil then apply the rub. Set aside and let sit at room temperature until the grill is ready.
- Brush the grill grate with a little bit of oil to prevent chicken legs from sticking. Place the legs on the grill, skin side down, and close the lid. Grill covered for about 30 minutes, flipping every 8-10 minutes and moving around to account for hot spots and ensure even browning. The legs are ready when the chicken legs are nicely browned and the internal temperature is reading about 180F-190F.
