Cooking Instructions

Hide images
step 1
Prepare a weber kettle grill for grilling using a charcoal vortex for indirect grilling using briquette charcoal.
step 2
Combine All-Purpose Spice Rub (3 Tbsp), Lemon Pepper (3 Tbsp), Dried Parsley (1 tsp), Dried Rosemary (1 tsp), and Dried Thyme (1 tsp) in a small bowl and transfer to a dredge shaker.
step 3
Pat dry and trim Chicken (8), lightly coat both sides with Olive Oil (4 Tbsp), and season generously with the seasoning mixture.
step 4
Arrange the leg quarters around the outer edge of the Weber grill for indirect cooking. Half the Lemon (1) and place on the grate for 4-5 minutes cut side down.
step 5
Squeeze the grilled lemon juice into the Butter (1 stick) and season with 1 Tbsp of the seasoning mixture. Baste the leg quarters with the lemon butter mixture 20 minutes into the cook.
step 6
Continue grilling the leg quarters until the internal temperature reaches a minimum of 175 degrees F (80 degrees C) ( I prefer to take them to 190 degrees F (85 degrees C) for more tender meat and crispy skin).
step 7
Remove the leg quarters from the grill and drizzle with White BBQ Sauce (1 bottle).
