Spicy Thai Grilled CHicken Legs

When chicken is available at Whole Foods for $3.75 you buy it...

I stay away from the meat section of Whole Foods because I get so tempted. Then I look at the prices. I see young people there; I know it occurs, but I don't understand. How do you afford this? Seriously? What kind of jobs do you have? I happened to be strolling around one Saturday when...out of the corner of my eye, I spotted these perfect "air chilled" chicken legs. Boy do I get excited when I see "air chilled."  That's a lie.  BUT, they were on SALE.  And not the Whole Foods kind of "sale" when a pound of shrimp is $35. These were actually $3.75...for the entire package. 

I like to grill my chicken legs which means I like to withstand sub freezing temperatures just to get that perfect char. No joke, last year at this time, I took this picture of my grill.

​Sometimes I pull my grill up to my door leading to the outside.  Although, I'm pretty sure this is a fire hazard, I can easily just monitor my temperature.  Winter grilling is a luxury in New England, you all should try it! ​

Ingredients:
5 cloves garlic
1/4 cup cilantro
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tsp fish sauce
1 tsp soy sauce
1 tbs thai chili garlic sauce
2 tbs hoisan sauce
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
1 tbs red pepper flakes (optional)

Method:
Combine garlic, cilantro, olive oil, fish sauce, soy sauce, garlic sauce, hoisan sauce, and salt and pepper into a blender and combine until throughly mixed together in a smooth paste. Layer the sauce over the chicken legs and arrange in a shallow glass dish. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 2 - 8 hours. Turn your grill on high and heat at 450 degrees. Place the chicken on the grill. Flip every five to seven minutes.  Grill the legs for 30 - 40 minutes or until the juices run clear.
