Equipment
- Traeger pellet grill
Ingredients
- 3 lb Chicken Legs or Chicken or Quarters
- 2 tbsp Chicken Rub
- 3 tbsp BBQ Sauce
Instructions
- Preheat the smoker to 250°F and ensure you have enough pellets.
- If you’re making the dry rub, combine all the ingredients in a small bowl. Then pat the drumsticks dry. Cover the drumsticks generously with the rub. Then, shake off the excess rub and place the drumsticks on a cutting board to transport to the smoker.
- When the smoker comes to temperature, place the drumsticks directly on the grill grate and away from the heat.
- Insert the temperature probes and monitor. Smoke for 60-90 minutes. Brush BBQ sauce on the drumsticks in the last 30 minutes; when the chicken is 165°F, remove it from the smoker.
- Remove the chicken drumsticks from the Traeger and rest for 10 minutes.
- Safely remove the chicken drumsticks from the Traeger Pellet Grill. Rest for 10 minutes wrapped in aluminum foil to achieve extra juicy meat! Serve with your favorite sides and enjoy!
