Ingredients

1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle beer
1 cup teriyaki marinade
0.25 cup brown sugar
0.25 cup kosher salt
0.25 cup paprika
2 tablespoons ground black pepper
0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
10 chicken legs, rinsed and patted dry
0.25 cup vegetable oil

Instructions

In a bowl, mix together beer, teriyaki marinade, brown sugar, salt, paprika, black pepper, and cayenne pepper until well combined.
Lightly coat chicken legs with oil. Using a fork, poke holes in the chicken leg flesh. Place chicken in a single layer in a glass dish and pour the marinade over the chicken. Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour to marinate.
Preheat your outdoor grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grill grate to prevent sticking.
Take the chicken legs out of the marinade and shake off any extra marinade. Discard the used marinade.
Place the chicken on the preheated grill and cook until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear. Turn the chicken a quarter turn every 5 minutes, cooking for a total of 20 to 25 minutes. Ensure an instant-read thermometer reads at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C) when inserted into the thickest part of the chicken legs.
