Prepare chicken legs by coating them with neutral oil, salt, and pepper.

Preheat the grill using the two-zone cooking method: one side on high heat and the other off.

Place chicken legs on the hot side of the grill for 6 minutes, then move to the cooler side for 6 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Prepare bacon by cutting it into decent-sized pieces and cooking it in a pan until crispy.

Hard boil eggs by placing them in a pot with cold water, bringing to a boil, then cooking for 2 minutes before covering and letting sit for 10 minutes.

Boil potatoes in a separate pot of water until tender enough to poke with a fork.

Drain the hot water from the eggs and run cold water over them, then place in ice water to stop cooking.

Chop green onion, dill, celery, and parsley for the potato salad.

Make the glazing sauce by mixing half a cup of canadian maple syrup, a third cup of dijon mustard, 4-5 crushed garlic cloves, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 3 tablespoons of sambal garlic chili sauce, and salt and pepper to taste.

Flip the chicken legs on the grill and continue cooking until done.
