Grilled chicken legs
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Mom calls grilled chicken legs "a treat"—in a good sense of the word "treat." Apparently, she means "indulging yourself with tender meat, smoky flavored, pulled right off the bone." Serve the chicken legs with any vegetables, bread, or your favorite sauce. Serve hot.

Step 5
5. Place the chicken legs into the marinade. I usually choose a container with a lid for marinating, put the chicken or meat inside, close it with the lid, and shake it. You can also rub the legs with your hands. Place the chicken legs in the marinade into the refrigerator for 4–6 hours.
