Notes
- Make sure to cook over indirect grill heat
- When transferring from marinade to grill, allow most of the marinade to fall from the leg. You don’t have to wipe anything down, but you don’t want a bunch of dripping from the leg that could cause flare-ups.
- Ensure your grill is clean and oiled before cooking to help ensure the meat does not stick.
- Remove the legs when they hit 165° Fahrenheit.
