During the week, it’s quick and easy to grill someboneless, skinless chicken breast. But on weekends,when you might have a wee bit more time, choosebone-in and skin-on chicken.

Chicken thighs and leg quarters often cost less thanbreasts and are more forgiving on the grill, if you payattention. The key to cooking these pieces is master-ing a two-zone fire. Once you do, you won’t end up withchicken that’s way too charred on one side and still

raw in the middle.For a two-zone fire, you need the heat to be me-

dium-hot in one part of the grill and then cooler inanother. The cooler part can be an area with no heatsource at all (indirect heat) or very low heat.

Grill today’s chicken quarters skin-side down firstand over medium-high heat to get nice grill marks.Turn them over and continue grilling over lower heat,which will help render more fat, prevent flare-ups andcrisp the skin. Close the lid and grill until the chickenpieces are cooked through.

Spicy Garlic Chicken Leg Quarters

WHAT’S FOR DINNER?

8 chicken leg quarters (about 10ounces each)Oil for grill gratesMarinade3 tablespoons olive oil¼ cup orange juice2 tablespoons brown sugar2 tablespoons minced sweet onion3 tablespoons minced garlic2 teaspoons oregano2 teaspoons crushed red pepperflakes2 teaspoons kosher salt1 teaspoon black pepperGlaze (optional)1/3 cup orange juice2 tablespoons Dijon mustard1/3 cup orange marmalade or apricotjam

Trim any excess skin from theleg quarters. Using a sharp knife,score several slits on the skin anda little through the flesh of thechicken. Place the leg quarters in alarge, plastic, sealable bag.

In a bowl, combine all the mari-nade ingredients. Taste and adjustseasoning for a flavor balance. Itshould be a little spicy and gar-licky followed by a hint of sweet-ness. The mixture will be almostpaste-like.

Pour the marinade over thechicken in the bag, massaging itinto the meat. Seal the bag and

refrigerate chicken at least fourhours or overnight.

Remove the chicken from therefrigerator at least 30 minutesbefore grilling. Remove the chick-en from the bag and blot dry withpaper towel.

If using the glaze, place glaze in-gredients in a small saucepan overmedium heat and whisk until themarmalade is melted; set aside.

Preheat the grill to medium-highheat. Oil the grill grates and heatanother 5 minutes.

Place the chicken pieces over

direct heat on the grill skin-sidedown first. Do not crowd. Grill un-til you get nice char marks, about 8minutes. Turn chicken pieces over,reduce the heat to medium andcontinue to grill until the piecesare thoroughly cooked, 15 to 18minutes, depending on how big theleg quarters are.

If desired, about 5 minutesbefore the chicken is done, brushthe skin side with the glaze, turnover and grill a few minutes on theskin side. Remove from the grilland serve.
