DIRECTIONS:
Hawaiian BBQ Chicken:
In a large bowl whisk together brown sugar, ketchup, soy sauce, garlic, ginger and black pepper.
Reserve half the marinade in a small container in the fridge. This is for glazing later. Keep it separate from the uncooked meat.
To the remaining sauce add the chicken legs, turn to coat.
Cover and refrigerate 8-12 hours.
Grill:
Heat the grill to medium high heat.
Add the chicken to an oiled grill and cook for 10-12 minutes, then flip and cook for another 10-12 minutes. Discard the uncooked chicken marinade. (You should have a second marinade that was stored separately)
Continue cooking, flipping every 10 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through to 165 degrees, about 45-50 minutes total.
Brush with reserved separated marinade, cook for 1 additional minute to caramelize the glaze …
