Mahogany Grilled Chicken

To me there's something beguiling about a bronzed grilled chicken leg, and these most certainly fill that bill. Serve with fresh, cool, creamy (easy) Romaine Slaw for a nice contrast of tastes and textures. These grilled chicken legs are stunning picnic or potluck fare. You don't have to tell anyone how easy they are to make!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh herbs, finely chopped
  • 3 tablespoons orange juice
  • 2 tablespoons miso
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 8 chicken legs
  • sea salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

Instructions

  • Mix first 6 ingredients together and pour over chicken legs, turning to coat well. Marinate for a day.
  • Heat grill to medium. Remove chicken legs, reserving marinade. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper.
  • Grill chicken for 25-30 minutes, turning frequently and basting with the reserved marinade in the last 10 minutes, until cooked all the way through to the bone.
Servings: 8
