Zesty Marinated Grilled Chicken Legs - BBQ Chicken Recipe

[@emmasgoodies]

Larry did anyone ever tell you your voice is so calming? :) The chicken legs look beyond delicious!

[@TheWolfePit]

Emma's Goodies Emma I had never heard that before I started doing videos.......now I feel like the Barry White of KZbin!!! LOL Thank you Emma!!! ;-)

[@Bob.Loblaw.Bob.Loblaw]

***** I gotta agree with Emma! You do have that 'even keel/at ease' tone in your voice Barry- OOPS-I mean Larry! Ohhhhhh, ba-by!

[@TheWolfePit]

Bob Loblaw LOL!! Thank you Bob!!

[@Anonymoose]

***** Been meaning to mention that. You sound to me a little like Kermit The Frog on quaaludes. :-P

[@TheWolfePit]

Anonymoose Quaaludes.....there's something I haven't heard mention of in a long time!! LOL You are one funny bastard John!!!! LOL

[@thebaldchef14]

Larry, these grilled chicken legs look absolutely delicious. I think the key this recipe is the way you marinated the chicken. I like your Mexican inspired marinade, and of course you grilling techniques are always spot on. Nice job on the recipe !

[@TheWolfePit]

The Bald Chef Thank you Glen! This marinade is so simple and versatile for a lot of different things!!! Hope you give it a try!

[@InTheKitchenWithJonny]

Fantastic Larry

[@TheWolfePit]

in the Kitchen With Jonny Thank you Jonny!

[@aeainnovations6871]

I just made this and they are so good! Thank you for the recipe!

[@NaniTikTokAddiction]

My husband said this was the best recipe ever. I put it in my favorites :)

[@wait...what...]

Such a simple, easy dinner. My family loved them - and we made street tacos with the leftovers the next day. Thank you!

[@TheWolfePit]

Thank you very much Bonnie!! Glad everyone enjoyed them and such a great idea for the leftovers! Yum! Larry

[@HJF]

Another great reason why I need a back yard... Looks delicious! I would totally tear those apart and make fajitas out of them

[@TheWolfePit]

HellthyJunkFood® You should come live with Uncle Larry, JP! LOL

[@salpi23]

lol.. you did not mess around with the seasoning.. my kinda chicken

[@Juanelo1946]

Larry, I just saved this to my favorites! I watched the video twice, it looked so good! It's so easy and it packs a wallop! It uses every one of my most preferred spices! I can see why you described as "fajita-style" with these great flavors. I can't wait to try these on my new little Weber grill. Thanks for sharing this my friend! Oh yeah... the chicken legs are low carb!

[@TheWolfePit]

Juanelo1946 I'm looking forward to your cooks on the new Weber too John!!! Thank you for watching!!

[@cyndy45]

Wolfpit, can the chicken be baked in the oven?

[@USNVA11]

Chicken legs and thighs are the best parts ! They looked great !

[@michaellmikeyymike]

Your neighborhood must always smell amazing Larry! from all of your cooking. those chicken legs look great.

[@TheWolfePit]

michael landry My neighbors must all be vegan.....they never speak to me! LOL Thank you very much Michael!

[@michaellmikeyymike]

they're insane I'd be over all the time!

[@aaronmackay6123]

michael landry I would be like wilson from home improvement constantly staring over the fence. Then i would be competing for aroma with my own food.

[@simplyme9269]

How many degrees for the grill i like my chicken well done...looks great!

[@rondagoodlet5588]

Your recipe is now on my list for summer grilling. I had a BBQ party once and My good friend cooked, He marinated and basted while cooking the Chicken Quarters Many of them, Hundreds Ha In the Zesty Italian mixed with Melted Butter and Lemon Juice, S & P . We Loved the flavor ! Your recipe takes this up several notches Looks Great, Thanks for sharing!

[@TheWolfePit]

Ronda Goodlet Thank you very much Ronda!!! Hope you enjoy! Larry

[@cyndy45]

Could this be cooked in the oven?

[@TheWolfePit]

[@MeshasCorner]

those look awesome larry

[@TheWolfePit]

Mesha's Corner Thank you Mesha!

[@WhiteThunderBBQ]

Mmmm bet those would make awesome fajitas! Love easy marinades like this.

[@TheWolfePit]

White Thunder BBQ Wings too Nate!! Thanks brother!!!

[@Timrathmore]

That looks amazing.... thank you for the recipe. Going to have to try this. You were not messing around with the seasoning 😂😂

[@ruckers1624]

nice and simple! Never tried cumin with this... will do this asap this week. when i've used that italian dressing for chicken, i often then paint the marinade on towards the end of the cook... but without the dried spices, think it would burn? keep posting! like!

[@TheWolfePit]

ruckers1624 Thanks Ruckers! No I don't think the sauce with or without the spices would burn if you cook either indirect with high heat or direct with a moderate heat! Please let me know how you like it! Larry

[@jernigan007]

italian dressing is perfect on chicken & chops. i do this all the time, and always buy a family pack of legs! yumm

[@sargesavage4359]

Nice tip about the Vinegar !

[@TheBarbecueShow]

Nice cook. I love the zesty italian dressing for a marinade or even dipping sauce sometimes. Try marinating a piece of salmon but only for 30 min.

[@TheWolfePit]

The Backyard BBQ Show - BBQFOOD4U I actually have some salmon in the freezer Jason!! I will do that and maybe add some dill! Thanks bud!

[@xrbxfoxyz]

Your tone is so relaxing...so gonna try this

[@chrisdoherty3669]

This looks delicious. Quick question, could you marinate the chicken and then freeze it? I would love to use this recipe, but will be traveling to get to where I will be grilling and dont have a place to marinade and store the chicken the day of the tailgate.

[@TheWolfePit]

+Chris Doherty Chris, I don't see why that wouldn't work. Let me know how you like them! Thanks for watching! Larry

[@19brandon66]

Always enjoy your vids but have a question re the Rec Tec. It's fueled by wood but looks like it puts hardly any smoke on the meats. Is the meat smokey?

[@TheWolfePit]

19brandon66 Thanks Brandon! While it's cooking the Rec-Tec is misleading to most people, because you don't see smoke......but don't let that fool you. The smoke is as good as on any smoker I've had and that goes for a Gator Pit, WSM, Weber Kettle, Primo and Grill Dome. The only heat source for the Rec-Tec is wood, so as long as you have it on, it's burning wood, just like a stick burner. If you have your fire burning properly in a 100% stick burner you should see very little if any smoke. You will obviously see more smoke when you add fresh logs, but it should dissipate quickly. With all of this being said the Rec-Tec RT 680 has an 'Extreme Smoke button' if you want to add more smoke than normal to your food. Does all of this make sense? Hope it helps Brandon! Thanks again!! Larry

[@TROYCOOKS]

That was some kicked up marinade you made. That chicken couldn't help but be outstanding!!! Loved the money shots at the end too!!! Huge Thumbs Up Larry!!! Have a great Independence Day weekend brother!!

[@TheWolfePit]

[@crisworkizer1523]

Larry, awesome job on those chicken legs.Ive used Italian dressing on chicken and fish,but you upped it a couple of notches with you killer spices. awesome job.a guy at work said he marinated his rib eye steaks in Italian dressing and said they were the bomb.never heard of that one..alwayas chicken or fish.

[@TheWolfePit]

Cris Workizer I've actually used Italian dressing on steaks and on cubed meats and vegetables for shish kebabs and it's fantastic! Thanks for watching Cris!! Larry

[@lovelyday4362]

Trying this today thank you

[@millionsofpower]

I'm confused... where and when did you add vinegar?

[@SeazerThaLeader]

Millions Of Power it's in the salad dressing that he poured on first

I havent eaten meat in 12 years, but my health sucks and i want to give my kid a more healthy diet. i decided to add in chicken and seafood. this will be one of the first chicken recipes i make since i found some drumsticks from a small freerange farm on sale at the shop. Marinating them and later grilling!! :D thanks

[@davidgould2775]

Looks good. Exactly how I like my legs; moist, tender and delicious

[@TheWolfePit]

David Gould That's good to year David, but how do you like your chicken? LOL

[@bigdude1234]

Cool video

[@TheWolfePit]

big dude Thanks Big Dude!

[@erichernandez7507]

I got money on that they are awesome! why is there a censored area at the end of the video?

[@TheWolfePit]

Thanks Eric! What censored part are you referring to?

[@001SapoBBQ]

That's a badass marinade!!! Do I have to get them to 175 degrees? Killer wants bro!!!!!!

[@TheWolfePit]

Cookin with Surfin Sapo No Sapo, 160º is perfectly fine. Thanks for watching my friend!!

[@lidsman2221]

Dark meat is so underrated. Almost everyone I talk to says you should eat white meat. I love the dark meat its so much more juicy and tender than the white and I like the texture better.

[@TheWolfePit]

lidsman2221 I totally agree! Dark meat is so much better tasting and less expensive!! Thank you for watching!! Larry

[@lidsman2221]

You said white meat. I was talking about dark meat.

[@TheWolfePit]

lidsman2221 LOL I'm an idiot!! I meant dark meat!!!

[@lidsman2221]

No problem. I just wanted to be sure that you had read my comment correctly. Thanks for the video.

[@BadBeastBarbecue]

***** Larry, I see you're getting ready for the 4th of July cookout...LOL, great looking chicken legs. They must have been tasty with all the seasoning you applied. Nice video!

These look great! I'll give it a go this summer but will try it with skinless boneless chicken breasts. I know, I know, but I like white meat better. LOL ;)

[@TheWolfePit]

Capn Cummings Thank you Capn!

[@justinreed1388]

why 175 degrees?

[@TheWolfePit]

+Justin Reed 165º is perfectly fine with me, the 175º is more to cover people that do not cook a lot when watching my videos. 165º sometimes with give you a bit red or somewhat 'bloody' appearance by the bone on dark meat. If someone is watching my videos and sees that, they will be turned off. Not trying to mislead anyone, just trying to make the videos appealing to all. Good question! Thanks for watching Justin! Larry

[@LadyGunn55]

Love me some chicken legs!!

[@TheWolfePit]

LadyGunn55 Thank you Joe Ann!!

[@stripymccatpuss]

I would reverse engineer this by adding all the dry spices ( minus the salt and base salad dressing) with a spoonful of yoghurt and marinate over night, then add the salt and salad dressing then let go for the afore mentioned 4 hours. Just sayin' Larry, just sayin' :)

[@TheWolfePit]

***** Sounds interesting Ross.....now explain your madness! I know yogurt is also a good marinade base and will tenderize as well as the Italian dressing, but doesn't add a lot of flavor, compared to the dressing. So splain to me Lucy!! LOL

[@stripymccatpuss]

***** Yoghurt increases the depth of penetration of spices into the meat. Try it yourself with with some chicken breast and ( so you can see it ) Turmeric or a curry powder, get 2 cubes of chicken cover one with just the dry spice and the other with the same amount of spice but mixed with yoghurt, whack them in the fridge for a day, then slice them in half, the difference in the depth of penetration is very noticeable. I first saw this on a TV show " In search of perfection " with chef Heston Blumenthal who did the same experiment

[@Bob.Loblaw.Bob.Loblaw]

Hey Larry- why are chicken wings so expensive but you can buy chicken legs for like 25 cents/lb? Is it all just the BW3 craze? I don't get it. Legs give you everything that a wing gives you but with more edible meat.

[@TheWolfePit]

Bob Loblaw Bob I agree and don't know why wings are over priced either!! What is BW3? Buffalo Wing ???? Thank you for watching!! Larry

[@Bob.Loblaw.Bob.Loblaw]

***** Those Buffalo Wild Wing chain restaurants. There seems to be one (or a Wing Stop) in every strip mall around here. Both make inferior wings.

[@TheWolfePit]
