    Recipe Introduction


    Prep & Cook Time:
    About 1 hour, plus at least 4 hours to marinate.

    Notes:
    Up to one day ahead, marinate chicken. There may not be enough indirect-heat space for 10 legs on one barbecue. If so, cook in two batches, or simultaneously on two barbecues.

    List of Ingredients




    8 to 10 whole chicken legs (thighs and drumsticks attached, about 4-1/2 pounds total)
    2 cups apple juice
    3 cloves garlic, peeled, pressed or minced
    1/2 teaspoon pepper
    1/4 cup honey
    Salt

    Recipe



    1. Rinse chicken and pat dry. In a 1-gallon heavy plastic food bag, combine chicken, apple juice, garlic and pepper. Seal bag, set in a bowl, and chill at least 4 hours or up to one day; turn over occasionally.
    2. Lift chicken from marinade. Barbecue as directed for Chipotle pork roast (below, Steps 3 and 4), basting with marinade occasionally during the first 20 minutes. Cook chicken until no longer pink at bone of thickest part (cut to test), 40 to 45 minutes. Discard marinade.
    3. Brush all sides of chicken with honey. Cook until browned, turning as needed, 3 to 4 minutes longer. Transfer to a platter. Add salt to taste.
