Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Chicken legs
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Chives
- 1 clove Garlic (minced)
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 375-400°F).
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Pat the chicken legs dry with paper towels and add them to the bowl with the marinade. Toss to coat evenly.
Let the chicken marinate while the grill heats up, about 10-15 minutes.
In a medium mixing bowl, prepare the Gubbins sauce by combining Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, minced parsley, chopped chives, and minced garlic. Mix well until smooth. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Place the chicken legs on the preheated grill. Grill for 5-7 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F using a meat thermometer.
Remove the chicken legs from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes to retain their juices.
Serve the grilled chicken legs hot with a generous drizzle (or a side) of the Gubbins sauce. Garnish with additional parsley if desired.
