Instructions
Preheat smoker to 225° Fahrenheit
Prepare the smoked chicken seasoning rub by adding all of the seasoning ingredients to a small bowl and mixing well.
Add the chicken legs to a large bowl. Drizzle the chicken legs with oil and toss to coat. Sprinkle the seasoning mix all over the chicken and toss to coat with the seasoning.
Place the chicken on the smoker grill. Smoke for 1 hour.
Remove the chicken legs from the smoker and turn the heat up to high (about 500°). Let it heat up until it reaches high heat (10-15 minutes).
Reverse sear - Once the smoker grill is at high heat, add the chicken legs back on to sear on all sides. Rotate every couple of minutes to sear the legs completely. Ensure they have reached an internal temperature of at least 160°.
Remove and allow the chicken to rest for 5-10 minutes (it will continue cooking to 165°). Serve and enjoy.
