These juicy chicken legs marinated in beer and grilled to perfection are the ultimate crowd-pleaser.

I'm back with another delicious grilling recipe.  One that is budget-friendly, a great source of protein and perfect for your next summer celebration.  So before you head to the store for the usual hot dogs and hamburgers, check out this easy recipe for Grilled Chicken Legs that is sure to become a favorite.

To create these Grilled Chicken Legs you have to start with the best marinade ever.  It is made by combining Corona Extra and few other simple ingredients (most of which you probably already have).

I don't know about yours, but my family members are big fans of grilled chicken, and luckily even bigger fans of Corona Extra.  Not only is it the perfect addition to this recipe because of its light, fresh flavor, but because I always make sure to have plenty left over to drink.  It makes the moment (and meal) more enjoyable.

HOW DO I MAKE DRUNKEN GRILLED CHICKEN LEGS?

Start by combining 1 12oz Corona Extra with the following ingredients:

• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
• 2 tablespoon soy sauce
• ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• ⅓ cup fresh cilantro
• juice of 2 limes
• dash of salt & pepper

Next, place 4-5 chicken legs in a plastic bag (or bowl) and pour the marinade over top.  Set the chicken in your refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or until you are ready to grill.

When you are ready to cook, prepare your grill to a medium heat.  You don't want to burn the skin before giving the rest of the chicken time to fully cook through.  Take your time...it will be worth it!  

(If you want a short cut, cook the chicken on the grill until you have the skin cooked as desired.  Then pop them in the microwave to cook the rest of the way through, so the outside doesn't get too charred.)

Once your chicken is fully cooked, serve with a side of cilantro rice, fruit and/or salad for a well-rounded meal.

Summer is made for everyone.  Make sure to enjoy it with my Grilled Chicken Legs and the most carefree can in the world, Corona Extra.
