Chicken Leg Quarters Big Green Egg Direct

Cook chicken skin side up for 10 - 15 minutes then flip.

Chicken leg quarters big green egg direct. Get the temp nice and hot because you are going to drop that chicken to get a nice seer on each side. Add the chicken to the EGG. There have been SOOO many times that we have grilled chicken quarters and because they gave off so much fat straight away.

Flip 90 every 5 minutes and baste with garlic butter until an internal temperature of 165F74C. Brush the outside of the chicken with a little bit of olive oil sprinkle the rub over the chicken and press it in gently. Indirect at 400-425 degrees or raised direct between 375-400 degrees.

Mix the butter and the garlic powder together. Spread the chicken legs andor drumsticks over the grid close the lid of the EGG and roast the chicken for approx. Keep the remaining rub for future use.

Works like a charm every time. Baste and turn again. Next time try them indirect so that you will know which way YOU prefer them.
