Smoked BBQ Chicken Legs
Ingredients
  • 12 chicken drumsticks
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil, or as needed
  • 1/3 cup BBQ rub
Instructions
1
Position drumsticks on a vertical roasting rack over a spill-proof tray or baking sheet. Allow them to air-dry in the refrigerator for an extended period, typically ranging from 8 hours to overnight.
2
Preheat your electric smoker to a moderate temperature of 275 degrees Fahrenheit (135 degrees Celsius) and follow the manufacturer's guidelines for adding wood chips.
3
Lightly anoint drumsticks with a small amount of vegetable oil. Place them in a resealable plastic bag and evenly distribute the rub throughout the drumsticks, ensuring they are well-coated.
4
Carefully place the drumsticks on the rack in the smoker. Continue to smoke until the chicken reaches a safe internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius), which should take approximately 2 hours.
