In today’s video I will be showing you one of my favorite things to cook up as a quick weeknight meal on the smoker, smoked bbq chicken leg quarters! These are a great option if you have to feed a crowd on a budget! These chicken leg quarters came in a pack weighing almost 5lbs, and also cost about $5. Smoked BBQ chicken leg quarters are very unique in the fact you can pretty much use them in any recipe that you like from chicken salads to pulled BBQ chicken sandwiches! How do you like to use your smoked bbq chicken leg quarters? Let me know in the comments below!

| Instructions |
Prep:
1. Remove the chicken leg quarters from the packaging, and trim per the instructions in the video
2. Pull back the skin on the chicken leg quarters and season the meat lightly with Honey Chipotle
3. Pull the skin back over the chicken leg quarters, and season the bottom of the quarters with a base layer of Party Rub, a light layer of Honey Chipotle, and a medium coating of Meat Candy.
4. Once the bottoms of the leg quarters are seasoned, put them on a wire rack, and repeat the seasoning process on the top (presentation) side. Allow the rub to sweat in while the smoker comes up to temperature.
| Cooking |
1. Set your smoker temperature for 300° F.
2. Put the chicken leg quarters on the smoker, and allow them to smoke for 45 minutes.
3. After 45 minutes, check the temperature of the smoked chicken leg quarters. I prefer to take dark meat chicken to 185-200º F internal. The reason for this is, dark meat has more fast that can be rendered, and you end up with a tender, juicy, and delicious final product, but take them to whatever temp you choose.
4. Once the smoked leg quarters are about to the temp you’d like, sauce them up per the video. The goal here is to have that saucy, messy, and delicious BBQ chicken that we all love.
5. After you sauce the chicken, allow the sauce to set for 3-4 minutes, you ideally want the sauce to still be wet on the smoked chicken.
6. After the sauce has set for a couple minutes, remove the smoked BBQ chicken leg quarters from the smoker and allow them to cool for 10 minutes.
7. After your BBQ chicken has cooled, eat and enjoy! This my friends is the taste of summer!

In adding 3 different rubs, how do you keep it from being so salty?
Looks delicious!
$30 worth of seasonings on $5 bucks worth of chicken.. they look fantastic!
Kettle series – fantastic👍👍👍 Greetings Bernd
Looks great!
Kettle series! Not many people own a $5K pellet smoke box.
Maaaan, I can't believe you had that much self-control holding back getting that first bite sooner!!! That looks amazing. I love doing chicken quarters, which is very inexpensive. You're talking about doing drum cooks right when my wife ok'd me to get the LSG 20×42 Pellet. I was getting intrigued about barrels until I got the go ahead. Now I've been trying to make a decision for the last 2 weeks. Lol. Nice video as always, sir!!
Looks delicious and great presentation. We're you using cherry wood for this cook
Awesome video I'd love to see a kettle series I started on a pellet grill which I still use but I love cooking with fire
Awesome
Would throwing the tray on a foil lined baking sheet to help keep the smoker clean affect the flavor of the chicken, opposed to the foil on the lower grate?
Looks grate… what flavor smoke did you use?
