Spicy Cheekan Legs...2 ways
Cooked these drums up sorta like wings. They were 1/3 the price of chicken wings, so we went with these instead. They were dusted with baking powder and seasoning, then cooked indirect around 350 deg f until the skin was crispy.
Then sauced afterwards... half of the drums got sauced with a mixture of Ranch Dressing and Crystal's Wing Sauce... the other half got sauced with some Spicy Miso Teriyaki and Sesame Seeds. Served up with some simple oven-baked french fries.
Simple yet good.

I've called you King of Wings before Dyal (No Queen jokes Griffin, get new material) and I will also say Lord of the Legs. Those legs look darn near perfect. I never made legs until I got my Egg and I think I'll need to get me one of those leg racks.

They sell a buffallo ranch dressing: ranch with red hot. Have not tried it on wings or legs, but man, what a concept !!!

Lookin good! I like that spicy miso sauce... Do you have a recipe?#1 LBGE December 2012 • #2 SBGE February 2013 • #3 Mini May 2013A happy BGE family in Houston, TX.

Thanks guys. @Chubbs, hope your legs turned out good. My wife makes the weekly menu every Sunday and writes it on a dry erase board on our fridge. ) When it's written down, it keeps us from going out to eat, and spending too much money. @caliking, I use the Kikkoman brand of Spicy Miso Teriyaki Sauce. It's good stuff and goes a long way. Only thing I do extra is sprinkle on additional sesame seeds.

I did legs last night about the exact same setup as yours but my skin was rubbery. I think I am going skinless from now on. It always flops and it will be a little healthier. Great looking cook.

If I'm doing wings (or drums like wings), then I like to indirectly cook them at around 375 deg f. That's because I like using the baking powder technique. Gives the skin a fried like texture that really helps soak in the sauce. More than one way to skin a cat, so that's just what works for me. If I'm not using baking powder, I like grilling chicken raised direct at around 400 deg f. You will get crispy skin that way too...just not "fried-like"...rholt said:I did legs last night about the exact same setup as yours but my skin was rubbery. I think I am going skinless from now on.

:-t @jfm0830 - I wasn't gonna do one until you said something. He is the Quesadilla Queen, though.
The legs do look good, @Dyal_SC. Think I'm gonna try that ranch sauce. How did all the jokes get started? I don't 'member. Something about a sarcasm club on another board? I believe somebody was the Emperor?
