Directions:

1. Make sure that the chicken has been rinsed completely before cooking, unless the chicken is soaking in a marinade.

2. Pre-heat the grill on med (240 degrees) and place the legs/thighs on the grill. Legs/thighs grill much great at a lower climatic characteristic for a longer duration of time.

3. Frequent turning of the legs/thighs will insure a more even cooking, but will prevent any clear sear marks.

4. Legs/thighs come in so many sizes that it is hard to say exactly how long to cook in minutes. Start by letting the bottom side cook to a golden brown before turning. Continue turning as each side browns. If the face is browning in only a tiny or two than the heat is probably up to high and the face will burn before the inside is cooked.

5. If juices are advent out of the chicken then you have cooked it straight through and it may start to come to be dry if allowed to cook much longer. You can make a small cut in the chicken at the thickest point to see if it is still pink in the middle. It is preferable to not make any cuts though, because this will break the seal and allow the juices to flee making the chicken dry.

6. Take off the chicken from the grill and allow to cool a tiny before eating. This would be a good time to brush on your beloved sauce.

Safe Internal Temperature: 165 degrees

Tips:

* Grilling legs/thighs at too high a climatic characteristic will burn the face of the chicken without cooking all the way straight through to the inside.

* Grilling legs/thighs at too low climatic characteristic may prevent the face from getting brown and crispy. The chicken may also be dry.

* Be rigorous if you brush bbq sauce on while cooking. The chicken may burn easier and flavor the chicken with a burnt charcoal taste.

* To get the full flavor of the bbq sauce wait until the legs/thighs are done cooking and then brush on the sauce.
