Ingredients
  

Chicken Legs
  • 1 Pack Costco Drumsticks 4 legs
  • 1/2 Cup Favorite Bird Rub
  • 2-3 Tbsp Olive Oil
Alabama White Sauce
  • 1 Cup Mayonnaise
  • 1/3 Cup Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 1 Tsp Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1 Tsp Coarse Black Pepper
  • 1/2 Tsp Kosher Salt
  • 1/2 Tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 Tsp Onion Powder
  • 1/4 Tsp Cayenne to taste
  • Water to thin to your liking - I did just about 1 Tbsp

Method
 

The Bird
  1. Get the RecTeq fired up to 275 degrees.
  2. If they're still in the package, get 'em out of there, rinse em and pat day. Give a thin olive oil coating and throw your favorite bird rub on 'em. I put the rub on the meat, folded the skin on top and dusted again.
  3. Throw the bird legs on the grates and let 'em go for about 30 minutes. Flip after 30 and let 'em go for another 30 (Total of 1 hour)
  4. Dial up the RecTeq to 375 and we're gonna turn that skin from rubbery to bite-through. Keep 'em in the heat for 20-25 minutes - looking for an Internal Temp of 155.
  5. Brush on that Alabama White and get it back in the heat for another 15 minutes or so - until IT is at least 165.
  6. Rest for 5-10 minute, throw another bit of sauce on there if you want and eat 'em up!
The Sauce
  1. You can be more elegant than I, but I combined the ingredients in a mason jar, gave it a solid shake, and in the refrigerator until use.
