How long do you cook chicken legs on the grill?

Chicken legs should be cooked for approximately 20 to 25 minutes while on the grill. It is advised to use a food thermometer to ensure the chicken cooks thoroughly and reaches the appropriate temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

The chicken leg boasts the most dark meat on the bird. It also has substantial fat content, which can contribute to the moist, juicy flavor of the chicken. It is best to grill chicken legs over medium heat and with a spitting fire to add some extra heat to the meat. It also ensures that the grill does not burn the chicken legs.
