Cover the chicken and place it in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours, preferably overnight (7-8 hours is suggested).

After marinating, preheat the smoker to 275°F.

Place the marinated chicken leg quarters on the smoker.

Smoke the chicken for about 2 hours and 15 minutes, checking the internal temperature after 1 hour.

Once the internal temperature reaches 170°F, remove the chicken from the smoker.

Let the chicken rest for about 15 minutes before serving.
