BBQ Teriyaki Chicken Legs
I remember when I was young before, it was the same thing. I was allowed to eat the chicken legs with my fingers, and to be honest, it is probably the reason why it took me a very, very long time to appreciate chicken breasts.
I think I was 14 years old when I started to appreciate the fullness of the chicken breast compared to the chicken legs. Before that, I wouldn't say I liked the fact that I had to use a fork and a knife to cut my chicken.
Such a waste of time.
The teriyaki sauce for this recipe is lovely and straightforward to make. Kids loved it, and we did as much as them. You are not limited to chicken legs, you can use it on pretty much anything you can think of, and it will surely be right.
