This recipe is perfect for a crowd and is sure to please even the pickiest of eaters. The chicken legs are cooked over indirect heat, which ensures that they cook evenly and do not dry out. The dry rub is a simple combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. The chicken legs are marinated in the dry rub for at least 30 minutes, but can be marinated for up to 24 hours.

To cook the chicken legs, preheat your Weber kettle to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the chicken legs on the grill grate over indirect heat and cook for 30 minutes. Flip the chicken legs and cook for an additional 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

Once the chicken legs are cooked through, remove them from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve with your favorite BBQ sauce and enjoy!
