I have also excellent followed the same recipe for a leg of lamb with great results. The most important part of the entire procedure is the brining—don't skip it, Brining is the process of soaking meat (or vegetables) in a salt solution The salt breaks down muscle fibers allowing the meat to absorb 1°.' moisture and preventing the muscle fiber from unduly contracting under heat, thus releasing that moisture.

Mix the barbecue rub and the olive oil together and rub all over the chicken legs and into the slits as well.
