These Coca Cola Chicken legs were a hit with the whole family! I know growing up I loved to get the drumstick aka chicken leg to eat! With age has come finer tastes and while I still enjoy a good chicken leg, nowadays I gravitate to chicken thighs.  However, if you have kids in the house the legs will be a huge hit with them!  (I have included affiliate links to products I love.

Coca Cola Chicken Legs Recipe is perfect for any weeknight dinner to grill up or smoke! Use a Coca Cola Brine to add more flavor to the chicken.

Now I love to use Coca Cola to brine and flavor my meat!  Weird looks are normally the reactions that I get when I tell someone I put Coca Cola in the brine! But if you have tough meat like a roast the soda really helps to tenderize the meat.  Plus the flavor that Coca Cola adds a nice sweet taste to the meat as well.

Coca Cola Chicken Legs Recipe Ingredients:

  • 5 Cans Of Coca Cola
  • 2 Tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1/2 Cup Brown Sugar
  • 4 Tbsp Minced Garlic
  • 4 Tbsp Salt
  • Ice
  • Chicken Legs

How To Make Coca Cola Chicken Legs Recipe Directions:

I started by mixing up a batch of my Coca Cola Brine.  (You can grab the recipe ->here)  I also whipped up my Coca Cola Chicken Things at the same time, the kids prefer legs so it was a win!

Be sure that you are starting with a container or bag large enough to hold the liquid and meat, as well as ice.

I did this batch with five cans of Coca Cola.

Add the chicken legs to the container or bag.

Mix in the other ingredients and whisk with a whisk if you can.

Add ice to keep cold or top with more Coca Cola if your meat is not covered.

I whipped these Coca Cola Chicken legs alongside my Coca Cola Chicken Thighs on my Pit Boss Pro Series from Lowes.  Now if you don’t have Lowes Walmart and Amazon carry other Pit Boss options or Pit Boss website themselves.  I had been eyeballing a Traeger grill but this was more suited for my pocketbook.

Now, I did decide to add just smoke to the chicken legs and I used Apple Pellets to smoke my meat but you could use any flavor.

I put the chicken legs on my Pit Boss around 1:20 and allowed them to cold smoke for four hours.

Then I turned up the grill and let them cook!!

Don’t worry if you chose not to smoke them they will turn out great still.
