Directions
Whisk the zest and juice of 1 orange, the juice of 1 lemon, 1/4 cup honey, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons dried oregano, 1 tablespoon ground coriander, 2 teaspoons ground cumin, 1 chopped chipotle in adobo sauce plus 1 tablespoon of the sauce, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon pepper, 1/2 teaspoon allspice and 1 tablespoon dark rum (optional). Season 2 turkey legs with salt; rub with the marinade, then refrigerate at least 2 hours. Preheat a grill to medium-high on one side and place a drip pan under the cooler side. Place the turkey, skin-side up, on the cooler side of the grill; cover and grill until the meat is cooked halfway, 50 minutes. Turn and cook until the thigh reaches 170, 50 more minutes, moving the meat to direct heat during the last 10 minutes to brown the skin. Let rest for 10 minutes before carving.

Instead of using Turkey Legs as the recipe calls for, I used Chicken Drumsticks and it was great tasting. I smoked the legs and they came out with a real smokey flavor especially with the Chipolte flavor. Will use this recipe again.

Ingredients not separarted from procedure directions and not clear as to just a drumstick or with thigh attached. It would seem to me that to serve 4 you would need 4 drumsticks (Legs and the thighs.

I used skinless boneless chicken thighs. They are very flavorful. The whole family loves them!
