- [Narrator] Welcome to BBQPitBoys.com
Today we're cooking up some chicken leg
We're cooking up some Chicken Paws at the pit
and it's real easy to do.
Now, before prepping the chicken legs,
we're gonna put together some dipping sauces,
some mopping sauces.
Maybe a rub at the end.
And you can find the exact ingredients
and the quantity of ingredients
you'll need are on our website.
Check it out at BBQPitBoys.com.
Here we're making a condiment to sprinkle on
after the Chicken Paws are done.
It's pretty simple, we just use
some sea salt, some red chili flakes,
some ground white pepper,
some whole black peppercorns,
some smoked paprika.
We mortar and pestle it, right?
Or use your hammer and black iron pan.
Either or, it does the same thing.
And like I said, we use this for
sprinkling on after the cook.
Oh, that's good.
You can come to the table with any seasoning you like,
or sauce, we're just giving you some ideas.
Like cutting up some cilantro.
Here we've got some fish sauce
and some soy sauce.
Again, we show you the exact ingredients
if you head on over to our website, alright?
It's a lot easier, right? Alright.
Now, let's prep the Chicken Paws.
We call them Chicken Paws
because they should be called Chicken Paws
when we're finished with them.
Now, you've go to get the joint or knuckle
positioned right, as was just shown there.
And you take your old hickory, or whatever knife you have
and you cut alongside the bone just like that.
That's what we call the Chicken Paw.
Now why the hell would we do that?
The big reason: it cooks awesome.
It cooks faster, you get the seasoning inside the meat.
You'll never have a situation where you're
pulling your chicken legs off the grill
and they're still red and uncooked alongside the bone.
You know what I'm talkin' about, you either
undercook them or overcook them.
But you make them into Chicken Paws
and they'll be juicy, moist,
full of seasoning, through. Awesome on the grill.
You gotta check this out.
Now, we're gonna put these Chicken Paws
on our Santa Maria grill.
Use what grill you have.
Oh, man. This is gonna be good.
Now, we're gonna have to speed this up here,
it's going a bit too slow, you know what I mean?
Although you could use that fast forward button, right?
Chicken paws are lined up,
Hero the rooster is happy as hell
because he's eating chicken tonight.
Like I said, these will not take long.
We're doing these over direct flames.
You could do them indirect, right?
You've seen that before but you keep a medium heat
on these and keep basting them.
Keep that moisture hitting these legs.
Keep it moist and tender.
So we add some Teriyaki sauce,
we've got some barbecue sauce.
We do them different ways, right?
Here we've got some seasoning.
We throw on some SPG.
We've got some ginger here.
Like I said, you do it the way you want,
we're just giving you some ideas.
The whole idea here is how to make the Chicken Paws.
You do them this way once, you may never go back
to the plain old chicken legs.
Man, this is gonna be good!
Alright.
A little bit of that soy, fish sauce.
More SPG.
I'm telling you, you better make a bunch of these
because they're gonna go fast.
There's more than one way to empty a beer can.
Use it, keep that moisture up,
and you keep flipping these paws
'til you get it just right.
Plenty of that grilled flavor all around,
inside, outside.
Oh, baby.
I think you know where we're going with this.

A little bit of honey on there.
There's that lemon, cilantro.
Man!
White pepper.
And the great thing about chicken legs,
of course, it's about the least expensive
part of the chicken.
You can buy a ton of these for a little money
and they're as good as any wing
and a lot cheaper.
You definitely gotta check this method out,
called Chicken Paws.
And of course, as always,
we do apologize for eating in front of you like this.
But we called this Pit Master Privilege.
