Chef Nathan Lippy knows that simple chicken legs can become something special with a little extra effort, and these Fire Roasted Lemon Chicken Legs prove it. 🍋 Butterflied for more crispy edges, basted with a lemon-garlic herb butter, and cooked over open flame, every bite is packed with smoky flavor and bright citrus. When he's cooking family-style over the fire, this is the kind of showstopping platter that keeps everyone gathered around for just one more piece.
Ingredients
8 bone-in, skin-on chicken legs
Blackstone Lemon Peppercorn Seasoning
1 stick unsalted butter
6 sprigs fresh thyme
6 garlic cloves, smashed
1 lemon
2 tsp hot sauce
3 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
1. Preheat your Blackstone OpenFlame with a solid bed of hot embers.
2. In a small saucepan, combine the butter, thyme, garlic, and hot sauce. Slice the lemon in half, squeeze the juice into the pan, and add the squeezed lemon halves. Season with a few shakes of Blackstone Lemon Peppercorn Seasoning. Place the pan on the grill grates over the embers and cook until the butter is melted and lightly bubbling, about 5 minutes. Move the pan to a cooler area of the grill to keep warm.
3. Butterfly the chicken legs by making a lengthwise cut down to the bone. Open the meat slightly to create more surface area for seasoning and even cooking.
4. Drizzle the chicken legs with a little olive oil and season generously with Blackstone Lemon Peppercorn Seasoning.
5. Place the chicken legs over the hottest part of the grill. Cook for about 5 minutes, then flip. Adjust the grill grate height as needed to control the heat.
6. Using a basting brush, brush the chicken generously with the lemon-garlic butter. Continue cooking, flipping and basting every 2–3 minutes, until the chicken is golden brown, slightly charred, and fully cooked through.
7. Transfer the chicken to a serving platter and garnish with fresh parsley and an extra squeeze of lemon juice before serving.
