Honey Glazed Grilled Chicken Legs

These sticky and sweet honey glazed grilled chicken legs are what outdoor dining dreams are made of.

Don’t take it just from me, my son deemed these honey glazed grilled chicken legs the “best grilled chicken” he’s ever had. Who am I to disagree?

INGREDIENTS

– Whole chicken legs – Canola oil – Kosher salt and black pepper – Honey – Honey mustard – Garlic powder – Red pepper flakes – Soy sauce – Rice vinegar – Chives

What makes this grilled chicken “the best”? It’s two things really. First, it’s the sticky, flavorful glaze brushed onto the chicken at the tail end of grilling.

The glaze is sweetened with honey and balanced with a splash of rice vinegar, soy sauce, and dollop of honey mustard.

Second, achieving perfectly cooked honey glazed chicken legs comes down to the proper grilling method.

I recommend an indirect cooking method to achieve juicy chicken with browned, crispy skin slathered in a shiny glaze that isn’t burnt.
