These smoked chicken legs are so versatile and easy! I like to use applewood chips or other fruit woods, but maple is also a great choice. Use your favorite BBQ rub. Letting the legs air-dry in the refrigerator overnight, combined with a higher smoking temperature, helps prevent rubbery skin that is common when smoking chicken. Serve with your favorite BBQ sauce, if desired.
Ingredients
- 12 chicken drumsticks
- ¼ cup vegetable oil, or as needed
- 1/3 cup BBQ rub
Directions
Step 1
Place drumsticks on a rack over a drip tray or baking sheet. Air-dry in the refrigerator, 8 hours to overnight.
Step 2
Preheat an electric smoker to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C) and add wood chips according to manufacturer's instructions.
Step 3
Brush drumsticks lightly with vegetable oil. Place drumsticks in a resealable plastic bag and sprinkle with the rub. Toss to coat evenly.
Step 4
Place drumsticks on the rack in the smoker. Smoke until chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), about 2 hours.
Tips
My favorite rub is this Brown Sugar BBQ Rub.
