Why Choose Chicken Legs?
You may have noticed that chicken legs are considerably more affordable compared to other cuts of chicken. They are a fantastic protein option when you’re on a budget or looking to save some money. Not only do they provide a great value, but the bone in the legs also adds extra flavor and helps keep the chicken moist and juicy. It’s the perfect choice for family gatherings, where you can impress a crowd without breaking the bank.
The Secret is in the Rub
For our Traeger Korean Grilled Chicken Legs, we use the flavorful Korean BBQ rub from Spiceology. This blend combines delicious ingredients like sesame, tamari, orange peel, maple sugar, and various spices to create a taste sensation. If you don’t have this specific rub, don’t worry! You can use any rub you have on hand or even make a batch of our Homemade Dry Rub. The result will still be finger-licking good.
How to Make Perfect Traeger Korean Grilled Chicken Legs
The Korean BBQ Seasoning from Spiceology is a game-changer. Its salty and spicy mix elevates the flavor of your chicken legs, creating a crispy crust on the outside while keeping the meat moist and succulent on the inside. At our home, we love bold flavors, so we generously coat the drumsticks with this incredible seasoning. However, feel free to adjust the amount according to your preference.
Grilling the chicken legs is a breeze with a Traeger grill. Simply cook them for 20-30 minutes at 350 degrees, then crank up the heat to 450 degrees for an additional 10-15 minutes to achieve that perfect crispy crust.
