4 leg quarters
3/4 cup tamarind cooking pulp
1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons fish sauce
2 1/2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 onion, diced
3 cloves of garlic, sliced
1 lime, zested
2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
2 teaspoons Chinese five spice (I use Reims from La Boite Epice)

1
Place the ingredients in a large Ziploc or seal-able bowl. Mix until combined, add chicken, and marinate for 4 to 6 hours. Rotate the chicken in the marinade every so often.
2
Set up the grill for direct/indirect heat. We do this by making a semi circle of charcoal. You'll know when the grill is hot but not too hot when you can count to 3 with your hand over the fire.
3
Remove the chicken from the marinade. Sear the chicken skin side down for about 4 to 5 minutes until crispy. You may pour the excess marinade over the legs at this point. Turn the legs over and cook skin side up for another 2 minutes over the high heat, then move them to the cooler side of the grill, but still near the coals for indirect heat, put the grill lid on and cook for about 25 minutes. They are done when the internal temperature reaches 160u00b0F.
