Mother’s Day Grilled Chicken Legs

Mother’s Day is right around the corner, and whether it’s your mom, your wife, or your grandmother, moms deserve this special day of honor and thanks. Usually this is the busiest day of the year for restaurants, but you can avoid all that chaos by preparing a better meal in your own backyard. Here is Mother’s Day Grilled Chicken Legs, a sweet and finger licking good preparation that far outshines what she will find in a restaurant. After this meal you will be the numero uno male in her eyes!

Begin by seasoning the four pounds of chicken legs and thighs with salt and pepper. All the special flavor comes from the marinade, which is a combination of peach preserves, vinegar, ginger, garlic, thyme, and rosemary. The blend of flavors is what sets this recipe apart from others, with the sweetness from the preserves and balsamic vinegar, and the aromatics from the garlic and herbs. The chicken needs to marinate for only about 45 minutes at room temperature. Grill over high heat for 10 minutes per side until chicken is cooked through and the skin is beautifully glazed. Make this Mother’s Day one she will remember by cooking her a homemade meal – she will love it!
