Recipe
Preparation Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 20 mins
Ready Time: 2 hrs 30 mins
- place the chipotle peppers, garlic, cayenne pepper, paprika, black pepper, cumin, lime juice, worcestershire sauce, honey, vinegar, and olive oil into a blender. puree until no pieces of garlic remain. pour 1/4 of the marinade into a small dish and set aside. rub a pinch of kosher salt into each chicken drumstick and place into a resealable plastic bag. pour in the marinade, shake, and seal. marinade at least 2 hours in the refrigerator.
- preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. remove the chicken from the marinade and shake off excess. discard the remaining marinade.
- cook the chicken legs on the preheated grill until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 8 minutes per side. an instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read at least 165 degrees f (74 degrees c). once the legs are completely cooked, baste well with the remaining marinade, cover the grill, and cook and additional 2 minutes per side to glaze.
