With over 37 grams of protein per chicken leg quarter, this is an inexpensive protein option. With the cost of meat going up and up, it\u2019s great to have some inexpensive recipes on hand.

Rub the seasoning into the skin to evenly coat.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/recipesfordads.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Smoked-Chicken-Quarters-recipesfordad.com_.PROCESS.4.jpg\" alt=\"smoked chicken quarters on a Traeger Smoker\" class=\"wp-image-85820\" srcset=\"https:\/\/recipesfordads.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Smoked-Chicken-Quarters-recipesfordad.com_.PROCESS.4.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/recipesfordads.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Smoked-Chicken-Quarters-recipesfordad.com_.PROCESS.4-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/recipesfordads.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Smoked-Chicken-Quarters-recipesfordad.com_.PROCESS.4-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/recipesfordads.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Smoked-Chicken-Quarters-recipesfordad.com_.PROCESS.4-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Smoked Chicken Quarters are ready to serve. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why should you leave the skin on chicken when smoking?<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s so important that you leave the skin on the chicken to not only add flavor, but the skin will also keep the meat moist as it smokes. You can always remove the skin after the chicken cooks, but you\u2019re going to be removing all those great flavors the seasoning adds.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why is dark meat better for smoking?<\/h2>\n<p>Dark meat is better for smoking because it is less likely to dry out. Dark meat has a higher fat content than white meat, which will help keep the meat moist. You should also know that dark meat isn\u2019t as bad for you as we were once led to believe. In fact, dark meat is more nutrient rich than white meat. Dark meat also holds up to different types of smoke, seasonings, etc.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/recipesfordads.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Smoked-Chicken-Quarters-recipesfordad.com_.1.jpg\" alt=\"smoked chicken quarters on a wood board with parsley, Alabama white sauce and blue napkin\" class=\"wp-image-85823\" srcset=\"https:\/\/recipesfordads.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Smoked-Chicken-Quarters-recipesfordad.com_.1.jpg 683w, https:\/\/recipesfordads.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Smoked-Chicken-Quarters-recipesfordad.com_.1-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/recipesfordads.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Smoked-Chicken-Quarters-recipesfordad.com_.1-150x225.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Smoked Chicken is one of the easiest recipes to smoke. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can you smoke chicken breasts instead?<\/h3>\n<p>Of course. Just be aware that it\u2019s easier for white meat to dry out in the smoker. You will also need to adjust the time that you smoke the breasts. Chicken breasts should smoke for around 1 hour at 225 degrees. Because chicken breasts have a lighter flavor, you may also want to choose the lightest flavored wood to smoke with. This will ensure that the smoky flavor isn\u2019t overwhelming. Smoking chicken breasts on the bone with the skin on will ensure more flavorful, juicy chicken. With all this said, don\u2019t be afraid to eat chicken quarters. Dark meat isn\u2019t as unhealthy as we were led to believe years ago. Chicken quarters are also extremely affordable. You can sometimes find a 10 pound bag for less than five-dollars while chicken breast costs many times more.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/recipesfordads.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Smoked-Chicken-Quarters-recipesfordad.com_.2.jpg\" alt=\"smoked chicken quarters on a wood board with parsley, Alabama white sauce and potatoes on gray plate\" class=\"wp-image-85824\" srcset=\"https:\/\/recipesfordads.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Smoked-Chicken-Quarters-recipesfordad.com_.2.jpg 683w, https:\/\/recipesfordads.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Smoked-Chicken-Quarters-recipesfordad.com_.2-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/recipesfordads.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Smoked-Chicken-Quarters-recipesfordad.com_.2-150x225.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Serve with roasted potatoes for a delicious meal. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What wood should you use for smoking chicken?<\/h2>\n<p>For this recipe, it is recommended that you use cherry or apple wood. Both woods have a mild, fruity flavor that will work well with the chicken and the seasoning. Because chicken quarters smoke for such a long time, you want to make sure the flavor of your wood isn\u2019t too strong. This means that you\u2019ll want to avoid woods such as hickory and oak.<\/p>\n<p>Place in the Traeger and smoke for 2-3 hours or until an instant-read thermometer reaches 165 degrees when inserted near the thigh bone. Once cooked, remove from the smoker and allow to rest for 10-15 minutes before serving.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/recipesfordads.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Smoked-Chicken-Quarters-recipesfordad.com_.3.jpg\" alt=\"smoked chicken quarters on a wood board with parsley, served on gray plate with potatoes\" class=\"wp-image-85825\" srcset=\"https:\/\/recipesfordads.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Smoked-Chicken-Quarters-recipesfordad.com_.3.jpg 683w, https:\/\/recipesfordads.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Smoked-Chicken-Quarters-recipesfordad.com_.3-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/recipesfordads.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Smoked-Chicken-Quarters-recipesfordad.com_.3-150x225.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">What would you serve with your Smoked Chicken Quarters?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What do smoked chicken quarters go well with?<\/h3>\n<p>Smoked chicken quarters are great with everything from <a href=\"https:\/\/recipesfordads.com\/instant-pot-baked-beans\/\">baked beans<\/a> to potato salad.
