Method
- Put the fresh basil, grated Parmesan and a splash of olive oil into a mini food processor and blend until finely chopped.
- Cut off any excess fat from the chicken legs, then work your fingers under the skins to loosen them from the flesh of the thigh and drumstick. Divide the basil mixture between the chicken legs and work it up under the skin, distributing evenly. Season well.
- Brush the cooking grate of a kettle barbecue with oil. Cook the chicken legs indirectly over a medium heat source for 20 minutes, then turn and cook for a further 20-25 minutes until tender and the juices run clear. Remove the chicken and allow to rest for 5 minutes. Serve with grilled peppers and a rocket salad.
