BBQ Chicken Leg Quarters

A little work but worth it.

Brine leg quarters in 1 gallon water, 1 cup of salt, and 1/4 cup garlic powder. I brine mine in the refrigerator for 2 days. Rinse thoroughly, put on hot grill. I used a couple of small chunks of wetted hickory on top of the hot coals for a touch of smoke. Grill until cooked through, approx. 45-60 minutes. 

5 minutes before removing slather on BBQ sauce - I prefer homemade, see my post from about a week ago for a great recipe or visit my blog...... JC'S Good Food Spot....Google it

Add BBQ sauce to taste when eating......enjoy, we sure did.
