Grilled Chicken Legs With Cocktail Barbeque Sauce Recipes

GRILLED BBQ CHICKEN DRUMSTICKS

Steps:

• Place chicken in a resealable plastic bag. Mix all the marinade ingredients together and pour over the chicken. Marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours to 24 hours.
• Heat the grill to 400 degrees, then spray the chicken drumsticks with grill spray.
• Grill the chicken for 4-5 minutes on the first side. Keep close eye on them - the sugar in the sauce will caramelize and burn.
• Flip the drumsticks over and grill for 4-5 more minutes, or until their internal temperature reaches 165 degrees. Remove and baste with BBQ sauce then allow to rest 5 minutes.

GRILLED CHICKEN WITH REDEYE BBQ SAUCE

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the hot coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only to medium-high heat.
• Sprinkle the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper and drizzle with the oil. Place the chicken skin-side up over direct heat and close the grill. Cook for 2 minutes. Flip the chicken and continue to cook with the lid down for 1 additional minute.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the barbecue sauce and coffee in a small saucepan.
• Flip the chicken again so it's skin-side up, move over to indirect heat and brush with some of the redeye barbecue sauce. Close the grill and cook, brushing with the redeye barbecue sauce every 10 minutes, until instant-read thermometer registers 160 degrees F, about 25 minutes. Remove the chicken from the grill and rest at least 5 minutes before serving. Bring the leftover redeye barbecue sauce to a simmer over direct heat for several minutes. Serve the chicken with the redeye barbecue sauce on the side or poured over.
• (Alternatively, you can bake the chicken skin-side up on a wire rack-lined rimmed baking sheet in a 450 degrees F oven for 25 minutes. You do not need to flip the chicken.)Who's Dining:

GRILLED BBQ CHICKEN LEGS

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.

GRILLED CHICKEN LEGS WITH COCKTAIL BARBEQUE SAUCE

Steps:

• Whisk together 5 tablespoons of the vinegar, 3 tablespoons of the canola oil, 2 teaspoons of the molasses and a pinch of salt and pepper in a large mixing bowl. Add the beans, celery stalks and diced onion. Gently stir to combine. Season with additional salt and pepper if needed. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Heat 3 more tablespoons of the canola oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened and lightly browned, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic and cook until softened, about 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Stir in the cocktail sauce and the remaining molasses and vinegar. Bring to a boil, and then reduce to a simmer. Simmer, uncovered, until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and pour half of the barbeque sauce into a small bowl for basting. Keep the remaining barbeque sauce warm until ready to serve.
• Heat an outdoor grill or large cast-iron grill pan over medium heat. Brush the chicken with the remaining oil and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Grill the chicken until charred on both sides but not cooked all the way through, 15 to 20 minutes. Baste the chicken liberally with the reserved barbeque sauce and continue cooking until the internal temperature is 160 degrees F, about 5 more minutes. Transfer the chicken to a large plate and allow to rest at least 5 minutes before serving.
• Serve the grilled chicken legs with the remaining warm barbeque sauce and chilled bean salad. Garnish the bean salad with the sliced celery leaves.
