Grilled Chicken With Cilantro Marinade image

Definitely make this grilled chicken at your summer cookouts. After marinating, the slow cooked chicken legs are moist and juicy. The marinade is slightly sweet from the brown sugar with a bold, spicy flavor from the mustard. You'll definitely taste the jalapeno flavor but it doesn't add any heat to the chicken.

Categories     Chicken

Time 1h45m

Number Of Ingredients 7

12 chicken drumsticks
MARINADE
3/4 c brown sugar, firmly packed
1/2 c Dijon mustard
1 jalapeno pepper; finely diced
1/2 c cilantro, fresh; finely chopped, or 2 Tbsp coriander
1 tsp each salt and pepper

Steps:

  • 1. In a large measuring cup mix the sugar, mustard, jalapeno, cilantro, salt, and pepper.
  • 2. Place chicken drumsticks in a resealable bag and pour marinade over the top. Seal bag; turn to completely coat chicken. Remove air from bag; seal tightly. Place in refrigerator for a least one hour; overnight is best.
  • 3. Grill over low heat to medium heat depending on your grill, turning occasionally to achieve doneness and beautiful grill marks. Cooking over very low heat will take about 1 hour or more to completely cook meat.
  • 4. Another option, instead of standing over the grill, is to place chicken on the grill over medium heat and turn to achieve grill marks. Place semi-cooked chicken in 13 x 9 pan, cover with foil, and place in a 250 F oven for about 30 to 45 minutes to complete cooking. You will have wonderfully moist chicken either way. Do not overcook or your chicken will be dry.
