The Best Chicken Legs You Will Ever Eat

It’s not often that we dream of chicken legs, but when we do, these are undoubtedly the ones with the starring role. With these wings no sauce is required, all you have to do is let the Memphis cook them to perfection.

Ingredients

  • 1 C soy sauce
  • ½ C brown sugar
  • 1 ½ tsp garlic
  • 1 tsp ginger
  • 16 chicken legs, skin on

Preparation

  1. Put all the ingredients (except chicken) into a bowl and mix until combined.
  2. Put the chicken into a large sealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over the top and close.
  3. Give the bag a few shakes, ensuring all the legs have been covered with the marinade.
  4. Leave legs to marinate in the fridge overnight, turning periodically.
  5. Preheat Memphis Grill to 350 degrees F.
  6. Give the grates a good coating of cooking oil as the legs will be grilled directly on the grill.
  7. Remove the legs from the bag and place directly on grill. Note: Do not save or use the leftover marinade – throw away.
  8. Grill the legs, making sure to rotate so all sides caramelize.
  9. Use the ITC to check the temperature and, once the legs reach 165 degrees F, remove from the grill.
  10. Let cool 3-5 minutes.
