Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken legs about 8 chicken legs, skin on
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
Rub
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 ½ teaspoons smoked paprika
- ¼ teaspoon chili powder
Instructions
- Preheat grill to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- In a small bowl, combine all the rub ingredients, set aside.
- Pat chicken dry with paper towel. Place chicken in a plastic resealable bag or bowl. Add olive oil and toss to coat.
- Add spice mixture to bag or bowl and toss to coat chicken legs.
- Place chicken legs on preheated grill over direct heat. Grill for 30 minutes, rotating every 10 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature 165 degrees Fahrenheit. I actually prefer my chicken legs about 180-190 degrees Fahrenheit so they fall off the bone and there’s no bloody spots around the bone.
- Allow to rest 5 minutes before serving.
