Wanna impress your family or guests at your next cookout?
Try this:
Wings, Thighs, or Legs. (Or any bone in, skin on, chicken)
Dry rub:
3tbs Salt (we use the pink Himalayan stuff)
1tbs garlic powder
1tbs black pepper
1.5 tbs chili powder
1tbs paprika
Red pepper flakes to taste (I use a half tbs for the family, I'd like it spicier but I'm one sixth of the vote.)
1/2 tbs baking powder (do not skip this)
So set your smoker at 250.
Thoroughly dry your chicken using paper towels (do not skip this step.)
Heavily dust your dried chicken with the dry rub. I usually do this an hour or two before the chicken goes in.
Smoke your chicken at 250 for roughly 2 hours. Your chicken should be around 165-170 at this point. Then crank your smoker to 290. Smoke for an additional hour or until your internal temp is 200 and the chicken skin is crispy.
Drying your chicken plus the salt and baking powder helps to render the fat from the skin, producing tender slide off the bone meat and crispy skin.
Your family will think you an amazing chef and your significant other will want you for dessert.
You're welcome...
