I will cook them a little longer next time,,,, still a little to greasy for me. ;D

Made up some coleslaw too, did a big change on the recipe I've been using.

NOW I have the coleslaw that is the way I like it.

Those loke great! I have found that when using the TBE with the leg racks I tend now to watch the color of the skin more than the IT...I have thought they were overcooked before but always have turned out moist and juicy ;D

I'm gonna do that next time.

I thought they could have cooked longer by just looking at them.

This was my first time cooking legs for the main course,,,,,, didnt want to over cook them. ;D

Great looking legs OU812. Like the use of the basket in the Bradley and then the TBE.

Noticed you took your legs to 165º - That's the temp I take my breasts to but I take my dark meat to 180º. Were the legs done at 165º.

They were done at 165 but still a little on the greasy side.

Gonna take them up to 175 next time.

I cook breasts to 160.

I love to make chicken noodle soup I'm going to have to make it your way next time.

The only thing better than chicken legs in TBE is chicken legs with mies breading on them!

I tried the Mies in TBE and they didnt turn out verry good, didnt brown or get that crispy.

I think I posted that too.

When I do TBE legs that have been marinated, I have gone up to 190 with no problems.
