You Will Need
8 whole chicken leg quarters
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 cups Emeril's Homemade BBQ Sauce

What to Do

1. Preheat grill to medium-low, and brush grate with oil.

2. Season both sides of chicken legs with salt and pepper. Place chicken on grill, skin side down, and cook, adjusting chicken's position and turning pieces occasionally, until about halfway cooked, about 15 minutes. With brush, baste chicken legs with barbecue sauce. Continue to cook, turning pieces frequently and reapplying sauce each time chicken is turned, until cooked through and instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part registers 160° to 165°F, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve chicken hot or warm.
