BBQ Chicken Legs
These juicy chicken legs are a quick fix and perfect for a party. They are easy to grill up and slather with barbecue sauce. This is an economical choice for a party if you can purchase the chicken on sale. We like this alternative to smoking chicken legs sometimes, to save time.
Servings: 8 chicken legs
Ingredients
- 8 chicken legs bone-in, skin on
- 1/2 cup Brown Sugar packed
- 1 TBSP Seasoned Salt
- 1/3 cup barbecue sauce any flavor of choice
Instructions
- Preheat grill to medium high heat (400 degrees).
- Wash chicken legs if needed, pat dry with paper towels.
- Combine brown sugar and seasoned salt. Rub over chicken liberally. Depending on your salt-taste, you may want to sprinkle an additional bit of seasoned salt on the legs after you've pressed the rub into them.
- Place legs on the grill. Close grill lid. Check legs every 5 minutes, rotating each time. Legs are fully cooked when meat (thickest portion and throughout) registers 160 degrees F with an instant read thermometer. This usually takes about 15-20 minutes, but depending on your grill, the weather, the size of the chicken legs, etc. this time can vary.
- When chicken is cooked throughout, remove legs to a platter, brush with BBQ Sauce and serve immediately. Makes 8 legs.
