Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 375-400°F (190-200°C).
-
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. This flavorful marinade will enhance the taste of your chicken legs and thighs.
-
Pat the chicken legs and thighs dry with paper towels. This will help the marinade stick better to the meat.
-
Brush the chicken legs and thighs generously with the seasoned olive oil mixture. Make sure to coat each piece evenly for maximum flavor.
-
Place the chicken pieces on the preheated grill. Close the lid and let them cook for about 10-12 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear.
-
While the chicken is grilling, baste each piece with your favorite barbecue sauce. Use a brush to apply the sauce every few minutes, building up a sticky, caramelized glaze on the chicken.
-
Keep an eye on the grill to prevent burning. If the chicken is cooking too quickly or if the flames flare up, move the pieces to a cooler part of the grill or reduce the heat.
-
Once the chicken legs and thighs are cooked through and beautifully charred, remove them from the grill and transfer to a serving platter.
-
Garnish your BBQ Chicken Legs Thighs with fresh parsley for a pop of color and a hint of freshness.
-
Serve hot with extra barbecue sauce on the side and your favorite summer sides like coleslaw, corn on the cob, or potato salad.
