I'm always looking for new ways to make chicken legs so I like them hahahaha AND this was it :) This couldn't be easier AND it was super yummy!!! Made this up with this AMAZING summer salad!! Great meal!!!!
Serves 8
Ingredients
- 2 lb chicken legs
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 packet ranch dressing mix
Instructions
- Brush chicken legs with olive oil. Rub ranch dressing onto the chicken legs.
- Preheat grill to 350 degrees. Place chicken legs on grill. Grill for 30 minutes, rotating every 10 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of 185-190 degrees F.
Notes
- You want to cook chicken drumsticks until they are 180-190 degrees F. I know this seems really hot and chicken is usually done before that, but cooking them to a higher heat point makes it so the chicken isn't stringy like sometimes happens and it's not bloody by the bone. Trust me just do it!
- Keep the grill temperature to about 350 degrees F. This temp allows the chicken to be perfectly cooked, but the skin won't become scorched.
- Keep the lid to the grill closed as much as possible .
- Flip the chicken legs every ten minutes.
- Have some water ready in case there are flare ups. Chicken drumsticks have a lot of skin which renders when grilling and can drip grease causing flare ups.
- Grill over direct heat.
