4. Put the chicken legs on the preheated grill. After the chicken drumsticks have marinated at least an hour but no longer than 8 hours, place them onto a preheated grill directly from the bag using a pair of spring-loaded tongs. Grill the chicken drumsticks at a medium heat, covered. 5. Flip and rotate the chicken legs. After a few minutes flip a drumstick to see how it's cooking. If it is a nice dark brown, flip it to another side. Move and rotate the chicken from hot spots and cold spots as needed. Keep the lid on, but check it regularly, like every 4 minutes.
