• 1  tablespoon olive oil
• 2  teaspoons thyme, fresh, chopped
• 1  teaspoon chili powder, Ancho, ground

2. Brush tops of skinless legs with oil.
3. Mix spices, salt and sugar together in a small bowl, and rub spice mixture onto the pieces using your hands.
4. Place chicken in the refrigerator to "rest" for 1 hour.
5. Preheat barbecue and grill over medium heat, turning once, until fully cooked and browned - about 20 minutes or until a thermometer inserted into chicken reads 165°F.
6. Garnish with sprigs of thyme, if you wish.
7. NOTE: Traditionally this dish is eaten by shredding off pieces of chicken and wrapping in a tortilla. In that case, serve with salsa and warm tortillas.
8. In Canada, chili powder in a recipe usually means the store version that contains milder type red chilies that have been ground and flavoured with some cumin, oregano, garlic and/or salt. For a nicer taste experience buy some of the dried Mexican style chili powders. Ancho chili powder works well in this recipe but you can use chipotle or others.
