Suggest a better descriptionTo make the marinade, whisk the oil, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and paprika in a bowl.
Add the minced fresh herbs and stir to combine.
Add the chicken to a resealable ziplock bag or airtight container over the chicken.
Seal and marinate in the fridge for 6 to 8 hours.
When ready to grill the chicken, remove the chicken from the marinade and pat it dry to remove the excess oil before placing it on the grill.
Remove the chicken legs from the package and pat them dry with a paper towl.
Whisk the ingredients together for the marinade and place the leg quarters in a large Ziplock bag.
Pour the marinade over the top, seal the bag, and chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes or up to 6 hours.
Preheat the grill to preheat to 350-400 degrees F.
GRILL THE CHICKEN
When the grill has preheated, using long tongs, add the chicken, skin side up, to the cooler side of the grill.
Cover the grill with the lid and allow the chicken legs to cook for about 20-25 minutes, Rotating as needed to ensure even cooking from the chicken leg to thigh.
Then, transfer the chicken to the hot side of the grill, skin side down to sear, keeping a watchful eye and long tongs to easily maneuver the chicken and avoid flare-ups.
Flip the chicken skin side up when the skin is crispy to get a char on the bone side.
The chicken is cooked when it reaches 165 degrees F with an instant-read thermometer, but we like to take our dark meat to 175-180.
REST AND SERVE
Transfer the chicken from the grill to a clean serving platter or cutting board and tent with foil to rest for 5 minutes.
Serve the grilled chicken legs hot with your favorite sauces and side dishes.
