I've done two whole chickens so far with marginal results. Since we're into summer I decided to give chicken legs a try. Seasoned them with McCormicks Cowboy Rub. Also did a pork loin since I was going to have the WSM fired up.
Fired up smoker with some hickory chunks with a small amount of water in the pan. I let it run hotter than usual, around 300 to try to get the chicken skin crispy. The legs were done just under two hours and the loin was done in about 2.5 hours.
Put both in the oven at low to keep warm until dinner time. Both got rave reviews from the fam. I feel redeemed in the area of chicken!
