Smoked Chicken

One of my son's favorite meals of summer is smoked chicken.   These are prepped using only salt and pepper.  You can certainly add your favorite dry rub or lemon pepper or dried Italian seasoning.

We used a mixture of leg quarters and also some drumsticks by themselves for this batch.

Prep your smoker using hickory chips and let the temperature reach 250 degrees. Lightly salt and pepper the chicken and you can even add a little softened butter under the skin if you'd like.

Let the chicken smoke at 250 degrees for 2 1/2 - 3 hours or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 180 degrees.
