Then, cook it until it's soft and slightly browned. ● Watermelon Salad: For a cool side dish, mix cubed watermelon, feta cheese, mint, and a squeeze of lime juice. ● Grilled Vegetables: Cut the onions, bell peppers, and zucchini into thin slices. Drizzle olive oil over them and season with salt and pepper. Then, cook them until they are soft and browned. How to Make Your Dish Stand Out ● For a splash of color and taste, sprinkle fresh herbs like onions, parsley, or cilantro on top. ● Put the grilling chicken legs on a plate and give you a lemon or lime wedges to squeeze over them before you eat. ● For a nice display, arrange the chicken legs on the plate in a way that stands out. Tips and Tricks for Grilling Chicken Legs Just Right ● Before adding the chicken legs, heat the grill over medium-high heat to make sure they cook evenly and get a nice brown. ● The chicken legs should be cooked for 20 to 25 minutes, turning them over every so often, until they hit 165°F inside. ● Before you serve the chicken legs, let them rest for a few minutes.
