Ingredients

  • 1 can or bottle of beer (12 fl oz)
  • 1/4 cup of brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup of kosher salt
  • 1/4 cup of paprika
  • 2 tablespoons of ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper
  • 1 cup of teriyaki marinade
  • 1/4 cup of vegetable oil
  • 10 chicken legs, washed and dried

Step 1

Mix beer, brown sugar, kosher salt, paprika, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and teriyaki marinade in a bowl, creating a flavorful marinade.

Step 2

Coat the chicken legs generously with vegetable oil, ensuring they are well covered. Use a fork to puncture the chicken legs, allowing the marinade to seep in. Place the chicken legs in a glass dish in a single layer and pour the marinade over them. Let them marinate in the refrigerator for an hour to absorb all the delicious flavors.

Step 3

Prepare the outdoor grill by preheating it to medium heat and greasing the grate lightly for easy cooking and cleaning.

Step 4

After marinating, take the chicken out of the marinade, allowing any excess liquid to drip off. Discard the leftover marinade to avoid any contamination.

Step 5

Grill the chicken legs on the preheated grill until they are cooked through, with no pink near the bone and clear juices, turning them every 5 minutes for an evenly cooked result. This should take approximately 20 to 25 minutes. To ensure they are fully cooked, use an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the leg; it should read 180 degrees F (82 degrees C). Enjoy your perfectly grilled chicken legs!
