The Best Balsamic Chicken Recipe
Do you have a dish that you just love to eat but you always forget to make it? Its like the recipe gets hidden in some secret recipe vault until all of a sudden you see something that triggers your memory of that dish and all those satisfying flavor profiles come back to mind.
For some reason, I have forgotten about grilled chicken legs but. Slathered with amazing sauce and then grilled to perfection, they are like the ultimate grill recipe that everyone should make at least once.
I was watching the Food Network the other day when this recipe escaped from recipe vault prison … and let me tell, I’m so glad it did.
These Balsamic Glazed Grilled Chicken Legs are marinated with sweet balsamic vinegar, garlic cloves, and fresh rosemary sprigs. Then thrown on the grill to give it a smoky flavor and charred to lock in all the juices. Its like a balsamic mustard rosemary bomb just explodes in your mouth as soon as you take that first bite.
I will warn you, once you start with these you won’t be able to stop! They are like lollipops but in savory chicken form! 🙂
How to Make Balsamic Glazed Grilled Chicken
To get started, in a small bowl add 1 tablespoon of gluten free mustard, 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh rosemary, 1 minced garlic clove, 1/4 cup of balsamic vinegar, salt & pepper, and 1/2 cup of olive oil.
Whisk together so oil and vinegar are no longer separated. Add 2 lbs. of chicken legs to a large ziplock bag, next add the marinade mixture to the ziplock.
Lock and toss around to make sure everything is coated. Place in refrigerator for 30 minutes. Remove chicken from refrigerator 5 minutes prior to grilling.
Heat grill to medium high heat. Place chicken legs on grill and grill for 20-25 minutes turning throughout the grilling process. Remove and serve!
