Before you start grilling your King Crab legs, it’s crucial to preheat your grill to ensure even cooking. Set your grill to medium-high heat (around 375°F). This temperature will allow the crab legs to cook evenly without drying out.
Pro Tip: Always preheat the grill before adding the crab legs to ensure the shells char nicely and the meat stays juicy.
Preparing your King Crab legs properly is key to making the most of their flavor. Thaw the crab legs in the refrigerator overnight to ensure they cook evenly. If you’re short on time, you can speed up the process by placing the crab legs in cold water for about 30 minutes.

Once your King Crab legs are prepped, it’s time to add some seasoning. Start by brushing the legs with melted butter or olive oil. For seasoning, stick to the basics like salt and pepper, or elevate the flavor by adding garlic powder, paprika, or Old Bay seasoning.
Pro Tip: Basting the crab legs with melted butter or oil while grilling will enhance their flavor and prevent the meat from drying out.
Now it’s time to get grilling! Place the seasoned King Crab legs on the grill with the shell side down. Grill them for about 4-5 minutes on each side. The crab shells should char slightly, which adds a smoky flavor to the sweet crab meat inside.

Pro Tip: Grilled King Crab legs pair beautifully with sides like garlic butter pasta, roasted vegetables, or a fresh green salad.
Q: How do I know if the King Crab legs are fully cooked?
A: The meat should be opaque, heated through, and juicy. The shell will have a light char, and the crab meat should pull away from the shell easily when ready to eat.
Q: Can I grill frozen King Crab legs?
A: While you can grill frozen crab legs, it’s best to thaw them overnight in the refrigerator to ensure even cooking. Thawing helps the seasoning and heat penetrate the meat more effectively.
Q: Can I grill King Crab legs on a gas grill?
A: Yes, you can! Preheat your gas grill to medium-high heat and follow the same steps as you would with a charcoal grill. Gas grills work perfectly for grilling King Crab legs.
Q: Can I use other types of crab for grilling?
A: Absolutely! You can use this grilling method for Snow Crab, Dungeness Crab, or Blue Crab. Adjust the cooking time based on the size of the crab legs to avoid overcooking.
