- chicken legs
With the back of the leg up, cut along the bone to expose it, then cut down alongside the bone on each side without cutting through the meat, and open the leg out flat.
Grill skin side down on a medium-hot oiled grill, turning often and cooking slowly; move to the unlit side and close the lid if it gets too hot.
Hold off on the butter until the legs are almost done, so it does not flare up; cook to about 175 degrees.
Holding the butter until the chicken is nearly done
- cowboy butter
Baste with cowboy butter on each side, flipping back and forth a couple of times so it burns in and colours.
