Directions:
One hour before you are ready to serve dinner, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Remove the brined chicken from the refrigerator and rinse the legs with water and pat each one dry with a paper towel.

Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Grease the foil with olive oil. Place the chicken legs in a single layer unto the baking sheet. Drizzle the chicken with a couple tablespoons of olive oil and massage each piece until each one is coated with oil.

Lightly season the chicken with salt and pepper.

Bake the chicken for 40 minutes.

10 minutes before the chicken is ready to come out of the oven, preheat an outdoor grill to high heat. Prepare the grill by carefully pouring a tablespoons of olive oil onto a folded paper towel. Using heat proof tongs, grease the grill grate with the paper towel, oil side down.

When the chicken has baked for 40 minutes, baste it completely with barbeque sauce on all sides.

Place the chicken on the hot grill and reduce the heat to medium-low or to an indirect heat spot on the grill. Close the lid and cook the chicken for 7 minutes on each side until the sauce has caramelized and there are dark grill marks on the chicken.

Total time on the grill should be no longer than 15 minutes.

Serve immediately.
