Sure walking around with a giant turkey leg at a fair is an awesome feeling but I like the simplicity of having a tasty chicken leg in each hand! Normally when cooking chicken legs on my Bull Grill I forgo using a brine and instead create a wet rub that will add flavor and keep your chicken hydrated. My go-to wet rub is made using agave nectar, canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, oregano, red wine vinegar, and Bull Sweet Heat BBQ Rub.
