  • Temperature of Smoke: Between 180- and 375-degrees Fahrenheit

Ingredients:

  • 3 cups of teriyaki cooking sauce and marinade, similar to Yoshida’s original gourmet version. The seasoning for poultry 3 tsp
  • 1 milligram of garlic powder 
  • 10 chicken drumsticks

Directions:

  1. Combine the chicken spice and garlic powder with the marinade and cooking sauce that you have in a bowl of medium size.
  2. To improve the marinade’s ability to penetrate the drumstick, first peel off the skin.
  3. Place the drumstick inside of a marinade pan or a plastic bag with a one-gallon capacity that can be sealed, and then pour the marinade liquid over the drumstick. Refrigerate overnight.
  4. The chicken leg should be rotated first thing in the morning. Prepare a smoking barbecue for indirect cooking using the appropriate settings. 
  5. Put the skin back on the drumstick, and while the grill is heating up, put the drumstick on a rack designed for chicken legs and wings to allow the cooking sheet to drain as you prepare the grill. If you do not have a chicken leg and feather rack, you may dry the drumstick by tapping it with a paper towel. This is an option in case you do not have the rack. 
  6. Prepare the smoker grill with  hickory or maple pellets and get the temperature up to 180 degrees Fahrenheit. Prepare chicken legs that have been marinated for one hour.
  7. After one hour, bring the Smoke Temperature of the hole up to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Continue cooking the drumstick for another 30 to 45 minutes, or until the Smoke Temperature of the thickest section of the stick reaches 180 degrees Fahrenheit.
  8. Before serving, cover the chicken drumsticks with a tent made of loose foil and let them sit for 15 minutes.
