Cooking chicken legs on the grill
First set up your grill with the coals, if you are using charcoal grill. Once they are heated, pile them all at one side. In the meanwhile, bring the leg pieces to a large container and introduce 1 to 2 tablespoons of cooking oil to the chicken. Mix to the oiled chicken, any of your favorite seasoning and coat the chicken well with it. Next, place the chicken legs on the grill, above the heated coals and sear them very well. Grill them on every side, turning the pieces from time to time. Cook your chicken legs on the grill for 25 to 30 minutes until the chicken has turned golden brown.
Coat with sauce
