Smoked Chicken Quarters
Smoked Chicken Quarters with lemon pepper seasoning will make your taste buds tingle with anticipation for spicy chicken with smoky citrus flavor. Slow smoking over hickory wood makes them juicy and tender, infused with rich wood-fired flavor. We cooked our chicken quarters on the Bronco Drum Smoker skin side up for a smooth finish and beautiful presentation. They’ll look good on your smoker too.
About the cut: Not only are chicken legs more juicy and flavorful—they're less expensive than many other cuts. They’re also easy to prepare and smoke really well.
With a unique airflow control system and sealed lid, the Bronco Drum Smoker delivers precision control. The movable grate and meat hangers give you more options and the oversized charcoal basket provides all-day smoke therapy.
