Remember Those Festival Turkey Legs? The Honey Fire BBQ Sauce Honey Fire Rotisserie Turkey Legs Recipe Why Use Turkey Legs? My biggest issue with turkey is that it is normally dry and not very flavorful. That is why when I try a turkey that blows me away, I know it was prepared by someone who knows their stuff. If you do not have a long time too perfect your turkey cooking skills, then maybe cooking these rotisserie turkey legs with Cowboy Charcoal might be your best option. Smoked vs Baked vs Fried vs Rotisserie Turkey, which is the best? Watch my YouTube video to find out! Turkey legs are dark meat which usually means that they are tender and retain a lot of moisture. While they might be more difficult to find, they are the cream of the crop when it comes to Turkey cuts. Plus when you cook these with Cowboy Lump Charcoal, you will end up with a ton of smoky delicious flavor on the meat. Remember Those Festival Turkey Legs? Whether it was a fair or a festival, the best thing to eat there was the turkey legs. They are huge, flavorful and fun. That is the goal for this recipe! You get a ton of shock and awe by not only using turkey legs, but also by putting them on the rotisserie. The trick to putting them on the rotisserie is using your prongs correctly. On my rotisserie, I have two prong add-ons to help secure the meat being cooked. Try your best to skewer the rotisserie turkey legs close to the bone through the thicker part of the meat. Then securely fasten the prongs into the meat so that they do not slip and fall off when cooking. The Honey Fire BBQ Sauce The last bit is making that Honey Fire BBQ Sauce. This is simply a hot bbq sauce mixed with honey. I used Cowboys Prairie Fire BBQ Sauce since it is my favorite. Use whatever works for you and your spiciness resilience. Mix that sauce, heat it up on the coals and lather the turkey legs till they are mahogany color. Make sure to bring a napkin or two for eating these rotisserie turkey legs as they can be messy. Enjoy this favorite of my house during the holidays, and make sure to get some Cowboy Charcoal. Cheers!
