Step 1
Rub the 1 whole lamb leg all over with the 3 tbsp olive oil, then season generously with the 2 tbsp salt, 1 tbsp black pepper, 1 tbsp garlic powder, and 1 tbsp paprika, pressing the spices into the meat.
Step 2
Prepare a charcoal grill for indirect heat: arrange hot coals on one side, place a drip pan on the other. Set the grill rack in place.
Step 3
Place the seasoned lamb on the grill rack over the drip pan, away from direct coals. Cover and roast, turning every 30 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 135°F for medium-rare, about 2 hours.
Step 4
Let the lamb rest for 15 minutes before carving. Slice against the grain and serve hot.
