Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Chicken

Time 6h40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons salt, or to taste
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 dash cayenne pepper
4 medium (blank)s chicken leg quarters
wood chips, soaked in water for 20 minutes

Steps:

  • Combine salt, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, black pepper, and cayenne in a bowl. Marinate chicken leg quarters in the homemade seasoning rub for 4 to 8 hours.
  • At the same time, set an electric smoker to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C) for 3 hours. Keep the top vent closed.
  • Place 1 chicken leg quarter on each of the wire racks. Place the racks into the smoker. Add water to the water pan. Add 2 loads of soaked wood chips according to manufacturer's instructions and open the vent.
  • Smoke chicken until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 2 1/2 hours, adding more wood chips after each hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
