No big photo essay this time.  Legs well marinated in Allegro Hot & Spicy and cooked direct with mesquite wood.  Pretty darned spicy

    I bought some of the Allegro after seeing you use it so often. It's really good on chicken. Thanks for the rec.

    It really has a place with chicken legs and "London Broil".

    I'm going to try Allegra if it's that spicy. The chicken looks good.

    Nice looking legs there. I have always avoided mesquite with poultry, thought it would be too much. Might have to give it a try...

    These were marinated 48 hours.  It does have a kick, but these were stronger than usual.

    @hapster, do you have a Harris teeter nearby? They carry it in the sauce section, along with Bone Sucking Sauce. I have 3 bottles I need to do something with.

    @doc_eggerton, what is the average time you marinate them(12-24-48) Does the heat level increase with longer times? I know you did 48 this go around but do you normally do overnight?

    This thread has strayed a little, but my opinion is , Allegro Hot & Spicy for chicken (especially legs), and tougher cuts of beef, Yoshida's Teriyaki for any chicken, turkey thighs, and less expensive beef, Dichickos Garlic for wings and pork.

    I marinate everything at least 24 hours.  The legs were an interrupted cook and went 48 hours.  They were good, and a good deal hotter than normal.  Only negative I have ever had for long marinades was chicken breasts marinated in Italian dressing.  They were too Italian dressing
    :))
