Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken legs: Look for plump, juicy chicken legs with evenly distributed fat. Avoid any legs that have bruises or discoloration.
  • Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade is what gives the chicken its flavor, so make sure to use a flavorful one. The recipe in the article uses a combination of Louisiana hot sauce, olive oil, garlic, and spices.
  • Grill the chicken legs over medium heat: This will help to prevent the chicken from drying out. Cook the chicken until it is cooked through, but not overcooked.
  • Serve the chicken legs with your favorite dipping sauce: Ranch dressing, blue cheese dressing, or honey mustard are all great options.
