Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken legs
BBQ Marinade
- ½ cup bbq sauce
- ¼ cup grape jelly
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- In a large bowl whisk the BBQ sauce, grape jelly, garlic and black pepper.
- Place chicken legs in gallon resealable plastic bag. Pour half of BBQ marinade over chicken legs. Remove air from bag. Marinated for at least one hour up to overnight.
- Store remaining marinade in an airtight container in the fridge.
- Preheat grill to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Place chicken legs on grill and baste with some of the reserved BBQ marinade. Grill for 30 minutes, rotating every 10 minutes and basting or until they reach an internal temperature of 185-190 degrees Fahrenheit.
Notes
- Grill your chicken drumsticks to an internal temperature of 185-190 degrees Fahrenheit to make sure there are no “bloody spots” around the bone. They won’t be overdone. You’ll still have a juicy, tender, fall-off the bone delicious chicken leg.
- To reheat we recommend using the oven at 325 degrees F for about 25 minutes to get a crisp skin. You can reheat in the microwave but the skin won’t be crispy.
