| Instructions |

Prep:

1. Remove the chicken leg quarters from the packaging, and trim per the instructions in the video

2. Pull back the skin on the chicken leg quarters and season the meat lightly with Honey Chipotle

3. Pull the skin back over the chicken leg quarters, and season the bottom of the quarters with a base layer of Party Rub, a light layer of Honey Chipotle, and a medium coating of Meat Candy.

4. Once the bottoms of the leg quarters are seasoned, put them on a wire rack, and repeat the seasoning process on the top (presentation) side. Allow the rub to sweat in while the smoker comes up to temperature.

| Cooking |

1. Set your smoker temperature for 300° F.

2. Put the chicken leg quarters on the smoker, and allow them to smoke for 45 minutes.

3. After 45 minutes, check the temperature of the smoked chicken leg quarters. I prefer to take dark meat chicken to 185-200º F internal. The reason for this is, dark meat has more fast that can be rendered, and you end up with a tender, juicy, and delicious final product, but take them to whatever temp you choose.

4. Once the smoked leg quarters are about to the temp you'd like, sauce them up per the video. The goal here is to have that saucy, messy, and delicious BBQ chicken that we all love.

5. After you sauce the chicken, allow the sauce to set for 3-4 minutes, you ideally want the sauce to still be wet on the smoked chicken.

6. After the sauce has set for a couple minutes, remove the smoked BBQ chicken leg quarters from the smoker and allow them to cool for 10 minutes.

7. After your BBQ chicken has cooled, eat and enjoy! This my friends is the taste of summer!
