Instructions

  4. Place on the grill for 40-50 minutes or until 185 internal temperature is reached.
  5. For the Aji Verde, add the cilantro, mint, roasted jalapenos, lime zest, lime juice, mayo, garlic, parmesan cheese, salt and Aji Amarillo paste together and blend until smooth.
  6. Bump your grill up to 425 and move the legs to the hotter area to get a little color and char.

Pro tip: Have a dish full of Aji Verde on the side. Drizzling it over the legs was great for the pictures, but you're going to want to dunk our legs in that sauce!
