New Orleans-Style BBQ Chicken Legs Recipe

• 9g Tea&Grill BBQ green tea seasoning
• 4 chicken legs (thighs and drumsticks), cleaned and patted dry
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh rosemary
• 1/4 cup chopped green onions
• 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1/4 cup BBQ sauce
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper

• Pat the chicken legs dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, grated ginger, chopped rosemary, and chopped green onions. Mix well.
• Rub the olive oil all over the chicken legs, then rub the herb mixture onto the legs, ensuring they are evenly coated. Season the legs generously with salt, black pepper, and 5g of the Tea&Grill BBQ green tea seasoning. Cover the chicken legs with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight, to allow the flavors to penetrate.

• Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 175°C or 350°F). If using a charcoal grill, arrange the coals for indirect heat.

• Place the chicken legs on the grill, skin-side down. Grill for about 40-45 minutes, or until the legs are cooked through and the skin is crispy and golden brown. Baste the legs with a mixture of apple cider vinegar and honey every 15-20 minutes to keep them moist and flavorful.

• In a small saucepan, combine the apple cider vinegar, honey, BBQ sauce, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Let the sauce simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until it thickens slightly.

• During the last 10-15 minutes of grilling, brush the chicken legs generously with the prepared BBQ sauce. Continue to grill, turning occasionally, until the sauce is caramelized and the chicken is fully cooked.
• Remove the chicken legs from the grill and let them rest for 5-10 minutes. Transfer the legs to a serving platter. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
• Serve immediately, enjoying the tender, smoky, and sweet-savory New Orleans-Style BBQ Chicken Legs with the unique flavor of green tea seasoning.
