chicken pieces

🥗Healthier: skinless chicken

Set up the grill with coals on one side for indirect heat.

Wait for the coals to burn down to a manageable heat level.

Place marinated chicken legs on the hottest side of the grill to sear them.

Use short tongs to handle the chicken, being cautious of the heat.

Spray water on the flames to control flare-ups and prevent burning the meat.

Monitor the meat's cooking and adjust its position based on heat levels.

Upgrade heat control by creating a hole at the top of the grill for better airflow.

Look for a golden crisp color on the chicken as an indicator of doneness.

Check for blood rendering out of the meat to ensure it is cooking thoroughly.

Apply barbecue sauce close to the end of cooking to avoid burning it.
