Time 4h35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 cups sweet barbeque sauce
1 cup Italian salad dressing
4 (8 ounce) bone-in chicken legs with skin
hickory wood chips as needed

Steps:

  • Mix barbecue sauce and salad dressing together.
  • Put chicken legs in a large zip-top bag and pour sauce all over them. Squeeze out the excess air and seal the bag. Massage marinade into the chicken a bit, then refrigerate for 4 hours.
  • Remove chicken from the refrigerator; set bag on the counter and bring to room temperature, about 1 hour.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-low heat and lightly oil the grate. Load a smoker box with wood chips and set on the grate.
  • Remove chicken from the bag and transfer to the preheated grill. Cover and cook for 10 minutes, then flip, basting both sides with the remaining marinade.
  • Continue to cook (with the lid closed and listening for flare-ups) until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 10 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • Remove chicken to a platter and tent with foil. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
