Smoked Chicken Drumsticks Recipe - How long to smoke

Step 1

Mix hot sauce with the garlic powder and salt.

Step 2

In a bowl, pour the mixture over the chicken drumsticks and toss until evenly coated. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for one hour.

Step 3

Fire up the smoker using wood of choice (I use apple usually). Get the temperature to 250F.

Step 4

Place chicken drumsticks on a rack and place in the smoker. Smoke for about 2 1/2 hours. Smoke until the internal temperature of the chicken is 180F.

Step 5

If desired, sear on a gas grill at high heat to crisp the skin.
