Ingredients
  

  • 4 chicken leg quarters or the equivalent, e.g. a whole chicken cut into 8-10 pieces, 10 legs, etc.
  • 1/3 cup BBQ sauce
  • 1-2 Tablespoons water
  • Salt

Instructions
 

  • Mix BBQ sauce with a tablespoon or two of water to make it easy to spread with a brush. Set aside.
  • Salt the chicken on all sides. Grill on a hot grill, flipping once or more, until skin is crisp and chicken is almost cooked through, about 20 minutes (temp should be about 160F in thickest part of thigh).
  • Brush BBQ sauce on to both sides of the chicken. Continue grilling, flipping once or more and reapplying additional sauce if desired.
  • Remove from grill when cooked through (temperature at least 170F in thickest part of thigh or 165F in breast), crispy and starting to develop a slight char. Serve immediately.
