INGREDIENTS

PREPARATION

Prepare smoker and preheat it to 225°. Baste olive oil onto each chicken quarter, ensuring all crevices are covered. Mix together spice ingredients in a small bowl. Full Directions Here

Spoon the dry rub onto each piece of chicken, then spread evenly with your hands. Place chicken directly on smoker rack. Insert a digital meat thermometer, close the lid, and let chicken smoke low and slow.

Keep the thermometer inserted the entire time so you can monitor internal temperature. Once temp reaches 165°, it's time to remove the meat. This will take 3-4 hours.

REMOVE AND SERVE

Remove from the smoker and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving. Full Recipe
