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!
