About Grilled chicken leg quarters

Grilled Chicken Leg Quarters are a flavorful and versatile dish often found in various cuisines, from American barbecue to Mediterranean and Caribbean cooking. This cut includes both the thigh and drumstick, offering juicy, tender meat with a rich flavor profile. Typically prepared with a simple marinade or dry rub of herbs, spices, and sometimes a touch of oil, the chicken is grilled to achieve a crispy, golden-brown skin. Packed with protein, chicken leg quarters are an excellent source of essential amino acids, zinc, and B vitamins. When prepared with skin-on, they also contain a moderate amount of fat, which adds flavor but increases calorie content. Opting for skinless or trimming excess fat can make this dish a leaner, heart-healthier option. Grilled over high heat, this meal brings a smoky, charred depth to the table, making it a wholesome and satisfying centerpiece for any occasion.
