5-Ingredient Chicken Legs on the Blackstone

Chicken legs on the Blackstone might be one of the most underrated things you can make on a flat-top griddle. The direct heat gives you a crispy exterior with a great char, and basting with BBQ sauce toward the end keeps everything saucy and tender all the way through. Easy enough for a weeknight, good enough to serve at a cookout.
