You can add a lot of different tastes and cooking methods to chicken legs, whether you like them stewed, seasoned, or baked. fixings: Let's get our fixings together before we start cooking. You'll need these things for this lesson: ● Chicken legs, either raw or thawed from the freezer ● Any cooking oil will do, not just olive oil. ● Add salt and pepper to taste. ● You can use your favorite dry rub or marinate. ● BBQ sauce is not required. ● Grilling gear, like tongs, a grill brush, and a meat thermometer ● Let's start cooking now that we have everything we need. Step 1: Get the chicken legs ready. Making sure the chicken legs are properly prepared is important for making sure they cook evenly and taste great. First, rinse the chicken legs under cold water and dry them with paper towels. This gets rid of any extra water, which helps the spices stick better. Next, use olive oil or your favorite cooking oil to lightly coat the chicken legs. This makes them taste better and keeps them from sticking to the grill grates. Add a lot of salt and pepper to the chicken legs, or use your favorite dry rub or sauce to make them taste even better. For the most taste, marinate the chicken legs for at least 30 minutes or put them in the fridge for up to 24 hours.

2. Step 2: Get the grill ready Get the grill ready while the chicken legs are marinating. Setting the grill to the right temperature is important whether you're using a gas grill, a charcoal grill, or an electric grill. For best cooking, aim for medium-high heat, between 375°F and 400°F (190°C and 204°C). If you have a charcoal grill, start the charcoal and let it burn until there is a thin layer of ash on top of the coals. Make sure the coals are spread out evenly on the grill's bottom, and use the vents to control the temperature. Set all of the burners on a gas grill to medium-high heat and leave the lid closed while the grill heats up. It usually takes 10 to 15 minutes. Step 3: Put the chicken legs on the grill. It's time to start cooking once the grill is hot and the chicken legs have been marinating. Carefully put the chicken parts on the hot grill plates, making sure they are all in one layer with tongs. Make sure there is room between each piece so that they cook evenly. Leave the chicken legs to cook for 8 to 10 minutes, depending on their size, with the lid closed on the grill. Don't keep moving or flipping the chicken legs, because that can mess up the cooking process and make the meat unevenly cooked. With tongs, turn the chicken legs over after the first cooking time is up. With the lid still closed, cook for another 8 to 10 minutes, or until a meat thermometer reads 165°F (74°C) inside this meat. Step 4: Put on the BBQ sauce You can add BBQ sauce now if you like your chicken legs grilled that way. Make sure that each chicken leg is fully covered with your favorite BBQ sauce by using a basting brush or spoon to spread it on. With the BBQ sauce on top, cook the chicken legs for another two to three minutes. Watch them carefully to make sure they don't burn. Because the sauce's sugars can turn into caramel very quickly, keep a close eye on the grill during this step. Step 5: Time to rest and serve Once the chicken legs are done and the BBQ sauce has turned brown, use tongs to carefully move them from the grill to a clean plate or serving dish. Let the chicken legs rest for a few minutes before serving so that the juices can get back into the meat. Warm chicken legs from the grill should be served with your favorite sides, like coleslaw, potato salad, or grilled veggies. Put some fresh herbs on top or a squeeze of lemon juice on top to make it taste even better.
