Smoking Legs and Thighs

[Derek Graf]

First time poster. Brined these overnight, dried them and then threw down two different rubs on (some can’t take the heat). Any tips on wood blends? BBQ sauce or buffalo sauce to finish? I have a masterbuilt propane smoker.

Nice chicken!

I would have said to put the bbq sauce and hot sauce on the side for people to add after the fact. Really good smoked chicken doesn't need a whole lot of dressing up with sauce but for sauce lovers like me I like to dip the meat when I desire and to the level of sauciness I want :)

What wood did you decide on?

I would have recommended doubling up on your Thin Blue Smoke (TBS) with about 65% Hickory and 35% Apple since chicken smokes so fast.

That’s exactly what I went with! Approximately 60/40 hickory to apple! I glazed one batch with bbq sauce at the very end and left the other with the dry rub only. Once to temp I threw both batches into the broiler skin side up for 60-90 seconds to make sure I got a great crispy skin.

Thanks Al! Oddly enough one of the best bbq spots here on Long Island, NY is Smokin Als in Massapequa!

That's cool!
The best BBQ spot in Sebring is Smokin Al's too! ;)
