I got tired of trying to find turkey legs so I made Disney style (cured) chicken legs. They came out great with a wonderful taste. Matter of fact, from now on, I will do these instead of turkey legs, they are easier to eat.

4 lbs of legs
4 Cups water
1 bay leaf
1.5 teaspoon of kosher salt
¼ Cup Brown Sugar
1 tablespoon of black peppercorns
2.5 teaspoons of Prague powder #1
Cured them for 18 hrs

Smoked them for 2 hrs at 250 then 1 hr at 350

Looks good. I like the holder too
 
Rack is from Amazon.
I cant seem to get a link to post. But the rack is a Bayou Classic Leg and Wing Rack. $15.00
 
Nice. Where or how does the 'Disney' come into play? My rack hangs wings and drumsticks, it doesn't look like yours has the the little zig-zag rod for the wings.

I'm thinking they sell smoked turkey legs at Disneyland, and this is a knock off of them. We have a county fair near us that sells them...for about $12 per turkey leg! Yikes!

Good looking legs Gecko.

Here's the rack I got. Bought two about 8 years ago. No longer use them since getting my Vortex. Actually don't smke just legs, often. More into thighs and wings and the vortex works great for both.

 
I did a Google search for Disney Turkey legs. Most of the brines are curing brines, several recipes had some aromatics added. One article said Disney buys legs from huge turkeys, like 50# birds! So I guess I've been making Disney Drumsticks for a long time.... :emoji_laughing:
