• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup barbecue sauce
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1In a bowl, combine all the marinade ingredients - soy sauce, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, dried oregano, black pepper, and salt. Mix well.
2. 2Place the chicken thighs and legs in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, making sure it's well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
3. 3Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
4. 4Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off.
5. 5Place the chicken on the grill, skin side down. Grill for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is cooked through. You can also use a meat thermometer to check the doneness.
6. 6While the chicken is grilling, prepare the sauce. Combine the barbecue sauce, honey, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper in a small saucepan. Stir well and heat over medium heat until the sauce is heated through. Taste for seasoning and add more salt as needed.
7. 7Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes.
8. 8Serve the grilled chicken thighs and legs with the sauce on the side or drizzled over the top. You can also brush some of the sauce onto the chicken during the last few minutes of grilling for extra flavor.
9. 9Enjoy your delicious grilled chicken thighs and legs!
10. 10Feel free to adjust the seasoning and sauce ingredients according to your taste preferences. Serve the grilled chicken with your favorite sides like grilled vegetables, coleslaw, or roasted potatoes for a complete meal.
