    If you like spicy, Walkerswood or Grace jerk seasoning (the hot versions, not mild). Rub it on and wait at least two hours, then 400° raised direct. Delicious!

    EDIT, the mild tastes ok, it just has no kick. :)

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    People seem to really like allegro hot and spicy... I have some in the cabinet, but haven't tried it yet.

    Sometimes I'll go with Italian Dressing for a couple of hours and then finish with bbq sauce.

    I've never tried this on legs, but my wife and I love this on thighs, so I'd think it'd work the same.  I got this from this forum, I think, years ago when it was still the original version, from "Bear 007 -- Tim, Presque Isle, ME":

    Grilled Lemon Tarragon Chicken Thighs

    1 lb. Chicken Thighs
    1/6 cup Lemon Juice
    1 tbsp. Soy Sauce
    1/2 tsp. Smoked Paprika
    1/2 tbsp. Tarragon
    1 tbsp. Garlic minced
    1/2 tbsp. salt Kosher

    Skin and Bone the Chicken Thighs. Marinate 30 min. to an hour. Grill direct at 400 or higher to 165-170 internal temp.

    It's important to trim off as much fat as possible to avoid unpleasant flare-ups and chicken fat smoke.

    I like to take a sharp knife and put 3 deep cuts in the leg before marinating.  Then use a gallon bag and do either allegro hot and spicy or any of the grill mates dry packs u mix up are pretty good.  Go about 375-400 raised for 30-40 mins.  Good stuff
