Equipment

  • 1 18x26" cookie sheet pan
  • 1 small mixing bowl
  • 1 pair rubber gloves
  • 1 wooden spoon
  • 1 gas grill or electric grill
  • measuring spoons

Ingredients
  

  • 30 chicken legs (leave the skin on the chicken)
  • 6 tbsp. Hellmann's mayonnaise (NOT Miracle Whip)
  • 3 tbsp. Lemon pepper seasoning or more as desired

Instructions
 

  • Spread raw meat on a cookie sheet.
  • Combine mayonnaise with two tablespoons lemon pepper.
  • Put rubber gloves on.
  • Rub mayonnaise mixture over top of each chicken leg or thigh.
  • After coating the chicken well, sprinkle final tablespoon of lemon pepper on top and bottom of chicken to coat pieces well.
  • Lightly coat the grill with cooking oil.
  • Grill chicken about 20-25 minutes, turning chicken every 5 minutes while grilling.

Notes

NOTE: I used about 6 to 8 tablespoons of mayonnaise.
 
NOTE: You can use any piece of chicken or a whole chicken cut up. You may need to increase the amounts of the coating and the length of cooking time accordingly.
 
NOTE: I used a generous amount of lemon pepper on tops and bottoms of chicken legs to cover the chicken. It was probably more than the single tablespoon that was remaining.
 
NOTE: I highly recommend using rubber gloves to coat the chicken.
 
NOTE: Be careful not to overheat the grill. The mayonnaise will drip down into the grill while cooking and it can start a fire if you're not careful.
 
NOTE: The chicken needs to be turned over every five minutes while cooking so it doesn't scorch or get too burned.
