For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a minced clove of garlic and a tablespoon of grated ginger to the marinade. If you don't have time for a lengthy marination, even 30 minutes will impart noticeable flavor to the chicken. To avoid flare-ups on the grill, trim any excess skin or fat from the chicken legs before marinating. Serve this grilled chicken with a side of rice, grilled vegetables, or a fresh salad for a complete and satisfying meal.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a mixing bowl, vigorously whisk together the beer, brown sugar, kosher salt, paprika, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and teriyaki marinade until thoroughly combined. (5 minutes)
02
StepMassage the chicken legs generously with vegetable oil, ensuring even coverage. Using a fork, pierce the flesh of each leg several times to facilitate deeper marinade penetration. Arrange the chicken in a single layer within a glass dish, then drench with the prepared marinade. Cover securely and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to fully meld. (15 minutes)
03
StepPreheat an outdoor grill to medium heat (approximately 350-450°F or 175-230°C), and lightly oil the grill grate to prevent sticking. (5 minutes)
04
StepRemove the chicken legs from the marinade, allowing any excess liquid to drip off. Discard the used marinade responsibly. (2 minutes)
05
StepCarefully place the chicken legs on the preheated grill. Grill for a total of 20-25 minutes, turning the chicken a quarter turn every 5 minutes to ensure even cooking and beautiful grill marks. The chicken is done when the internal temperature reaches at least 165°F (74°C), as measured by an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the leg, and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork. (25 minutes)
