Instructions

Step 1
Preheat the smoker to 250°F (120°C). Add your preferred wood chips or chunks for smoking.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together kosher salt, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using).
Step 3
Pat the chicken legs dry with paper towels. Generously apply the seasoning mix to all sides of the chicken legs.
Step 4
Let the seasoned chicken sit for 30 minutes to allow flavors to penetrate. This step can be skipped if you’re in a hurry.
Step 5
Place the chicken legs in a shallow foil pan on the smoker rack. Smoke for about 90 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches at least 165°F (74°C).
Step 6
For crisper skin, sear the chicken legs in the oven at 450°F (230°C) for 10 minutes after smoking.
Step 7
Serve hot with your favorite barbecue sauce or side dishes.
