Thighs and Legs

[BigTerp]

I'm loving my new UDS!! Finished building it 3 weeks ago and every weekend since it's been fired up. A 7# butt the first weekend, 2 slabs of baby backs the next weekend and then chicken thighs and legs this past weekend. I brined the chicken for a few hours in 2 gallons of water with 2 cups brown sugar and one cup kosher salt. Rinsed an patted dry. Then applied a generous amount of some poultry rub I had made up from last summer. Rub included paprika, brown sugar, sugar, Tony Chacheres, salt, celery salt, pepper, ceyenne, dry mustard, onion and garlic powder. A little on the spicy side, but they turned out great!! Smoked with a few apple chunks between 300-350 for an hour then flipped each piece and smoked for another hour. My biggest thigh was right at 160 after 2 hours. Done to perfection.

Do you rub under the skin or just sprinkle on top?

Thanks.

I just sprinkled on top and rubbed it in. Nothing too fancy or crazy. Was the easiest smoke thus far on my UDS.

I'm going to do some leg quarters this afternoon, hope they look as good as yours. UDS's are great chicken cooking machines.

That post is just some good Q. Enough to feed a crowd for very little cash. Good Work!
