Smoking chicken legs no the grill is a quick and easy cook. Makes for a good dinner - the kids love chicken legs. Or you could do it for a crowd - because you can feed a lot of people with smoked chicken legs.
I found a chicken leg rack at a local butcher. I’ve seen guys turning in chicken legs in competitions and they use this kind of chicken rack and I had to try it out for smoking chicken legs.
I started with a pack of chicken drumsticks from the grocery and layered on two different seasonings. I started with a basic AP rub (4 parts salt, 2 parts granulated garlic and 1 part black pepper) and then applied The BBQ Rub on top of the chicken leg.
Once the chicken legs are seasoned, I just hung them on the chicken rack and placed them on the grill. For these smoked chicken legs, I used my Big Green Egg and set it at 275-300 with 2 chunks of pecan wood.
I let the chicken legs smoke until they hit around 165-170 degrees. It’s going to take a little over an hour to get these chicken legs there. Then I mixed a glaze for my chicken legs by using 18oz The BBQ Sauce and 2oz pineapple juice. I dunked each chicken leg and placed it back on the chicken leg grill rack so the glaze can set.
It will take between 10-15 minutes for the chicken legs to reach a final internal temp of 175 and for the glaze to set.
I remove the whole chicken leg grill rack and take it inside - allowing the smoked legs to cool for 10 minutes.
Once the chicken legs are cooled, remove them from the rack and serve! You can’t beat these sticky, sweet, juicy and delicious smoked chicken legs - everyone loves them.

I will just say this. I dont mean to put anyone down, as these days everyone has bbq videos it seems. I have been grilling and smoking for decades on everything from a gas grill, pellet, weber, and all in between, but any man worth his salt can always learn. Malcolm Reed is the real deal and has brought my bbq to the next level. I appreciated your videos years ago and still today. Cheers sir from the hills of California's central Sierra Nevadas! Keep on going sir. I try and support you by purchasing your rubs and sauces.
There's basically no point in looking for other recipes. This is the gold standard....High-quality chicken, light smoke, Big Green Egg. That'll do me! Thanks, Malcom
Malcolm, made your chicken leg recipe for my girl.. she was so impressed, she said she’d marry me.. going to name the baby “Malcolm”.
Robert Fohl it's been nine months. Has Malcom been born yet?
Them Malcolm folks can cook! I'm a Malcolm too.
Joshua Smith yes! He's a year old now, loves BBQ,
Wait a minute is she kind of dirty blonde? Cuz I just made this girl some ribs and she said...
😂
Just made chicken tonight on my Green Egg for the first time and used this recipe. Worked perfectly! Everyone loved it. Thanks!
Love watching these older videos. Wild how much of an improvement there's been in Editing, and camerawork. Regardless of which, these older videos will always be my favorite.
My pops use to say “never trust a skinny cook”. Turns out he was right. Nice job.
Just wanna say that I appreciate you all doing videos like this. I’m new to the BBQ world and between your videos and podcast, I’m learning a lot real fast. Lol thanks so much and God bless!
nice this guy tells the temp range and duration for the cook, explains all i need :)
Malcom, I just followed your recipe for these drumsticks on my Kamado Joe. I even used your rub and BBQ sauce. Absolutely wonderful! Big hit with the family too. The Layers of seasoning with AP and BBQ rub really stood out. Sweet and sticky glaze, perfect!
Hanging legs like this is the best way to cook 'em - in my opion.
Those looked great, awesome color!
Use your techniques and recipes all the time! They’ve never failed me! Thanks for sharing your knowledge! Trying this for the first time this coming weekend, super excited
I made this recipe yesterday and it is delicious! A keeper. Thanks Malcolm.

Did up a batch of legs with my Weber, put a bit of Mesquite wood smoke on them and they were astounding!!
I used some Kingsford competition briquettes with rails on each side. Did some dry chips of wood for a bit of flash smoke so the Mesquite would not overpower the rubs.
Great video!!
I followed this video yesterday and it was a big hit! Can't wait for your next video!
I liked how you did the summary at the end. I wish more BBQ videos did that
Thanks Malcom! Your receipes for the egg are awesome! Please keep them coming! Thanks again!
Best tasting chicken I have ever had. This is my go to recipe nearly every week now. 👌🏻 thanks mate
I love your channel man. Every time I’m searching for a video on how to cook something on my pellet BBQ and I see your face I know I’m going to find a great informative video with awesome tips and recipes.
The wife even asked last time when I cooked a rib eye on cast iron, “Did that one guy have a video?” I just turned and said very matter of fact, “Of course I watched his video, did you think I’d just take any RUclipsr’s advice?” 😂
You have the best BBQ vids on the net brother.
Another good one Malcom! Thanks!
They look absolutely fantastic!!
Looks good. I cant wait to try this. Thanks for sharing.
As a new "Egg" owner, I wanted to thank you for your recipes on video. They are very helpful and a great guide for we novices. Keep up the great work!! Trying the chicken legs tomorrow night.
"If that ain't how to BBQ right, I don't wanna know how to BBQ wrong!" Nuff said! :D
You don't know what you're saying do you?
Malcom, I make several of your recipes and I buy your BBQ rub as well as your AP rub and I love your recipes! You are the master of BBQ!

That looks phenomenal! I'll definitely try this.
Man you act very humble every time you get to taste your cooking unlike the rest.
Great vid man n very informative for rookies like me. you are my motivation to cooking!
I did these this past weekend. Wow, they were good. And they didn't even have to have the sauce added to them to make them taste great.. Thank you Malcolm.
LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!! You take the time to show us step by step. I been thinking about one of those chicken racks .
Trying this out tonight on my new egg! Thank you for being so informative in your videos!!!! 5 stars for me.
Malcom, you the man, sir! Learned a ton from all your videos! Thank you :)
Just watched this video...love the idea of dipping them and letting it caramelize.
Just tried this today with your BBQ rub. It turned out great and will be doing this again for sure!!
I like the grill rack, what a brilliant idea !
Love the videos Malcom. I just bought me a large Rivergrill with a side smoker and I want to be better at grilling for my family and friends and your videos really help me do just that. I just did the ribs that you demonstrated on your video and it was the best we ever had hands down. Just wanted to say I'll be viewing your other videos to continue learning from the ways of the pros. I appreciate you sharing your secrets to make me better on the grill and a hit with my family. Just so you know I do tell everyone about your videos and give credit where credit is due.

Can't wait to try one of these racks awesome recipe Malcolm. I also like to cut up whole turkeys when they're on sale and smoke them on my primo porcelain smoker👍🏻🤠👍🏻
That chicken leg didn’t had a chance! Great to see how the show mad a lot of progress. Greetings from The Netherlands
Made some legs the other day. Did a lot of it the way you said. Mmmmm GOOOD!!!!
Just tried this recipe as my wife wanted chicken legs, they came out great! Stole the show
Man do I love your lessons on how to cook.
Very nice. Looks good!
Always look forward to your videos Malcom! You are the king of the BBQ! Keep up the great work! :)
Great video, I'll have to try that rack
Malcolm- you're the man! Love your stuff. Haven't gone through all your videos- but wondering if you could set up a tandoori chicken- Malcolm Reed style video. Bet you'd do a hell of a job!
Looks so good!
Look sooooooo good!! Gonna do this tomorrow if the weather holds up in the uk!! :)
I just made some of those last week and they are delicious 😋
Love your videos. Keep it up
Enjoy your videos Malcom. If you dont mind me asking, do you reduce the salt amount in your main rub since you put on a base with the AP rub which consists of a good amount of salt?
I am trying this tonight!!!! I will alter the bbq sauce to lower the sugar content, but this guy is a genius!!!
I can't believe how good these are for so little effort.
These look amazing. I'm going to buy a leg rack.
Looking Good Bro!!!
Hey Reed I want to thank you for the great videos brother, I've a lot from your videos and now I am a follower of your work.....keep up the great work and thank you for teaching me a lot of things when it comes to smoking!!!
***SUB'd!***
DaRealist One Same here man! I was pretty new to the smoking Q game. I started with ribs watching Malcoms videos and now people ask about my delicious ribs! Haha thx Malcolm!
Awesome video thanks !!!
Great video. I run the BBQ department of a hardware store. I can't wait to try this out for myself (and bring some of your products onto my shelf!)
I love my rack, but I notice in the oven it burns from the top of chicken leg so I wrap with aluminum foil just the small chicken tip end. Just remember to spray the rack with Pam before using it's hard to clean.
LOVE YOUR VIDS
That looks amazing. 2 thumbs up, Yo!
Glad you got a rack to try. Love mine. Do you think this will do good in a competition?
Love your video's Malcom, one question, does leaving the skin on impair the smoke from getting into the chicken?
Awesome gadget. Have to get one of those.
*BROTHER, IM GLAD I FOUND YOU CHANNEL* IM LOVING YOUR STYLE. I JUST SUBBED, AND JOINED YOUR NEWSLETTER. BOUT TO PLACE ME ORDER FOR YOUR SAUCE AND RUB. I REALLY LIKE YOUR STYLE. THANKS AGAIN YOUR GOOD OL ARKANSAS FRIEND BIGG KRIS.
Been using his rubs, sauces and pickles and my family and friends think I'm a genius! His BBQ technique is second to none! I'm a much better "Pitmaster" because of Malcom!
Do I know how to skoke Chicken? Yes I do. Do we love Malcolm? Yes we do!!
Good safety tip!!!
I love the "early" videos!
They looked great Malcom. I smoke a lot of my meats after watching your videos.
Dang man this looks so good I'm going to Ace Hardware right now to get one of those chicken racks. Great recommendation
Damn I love your channel. I'm doing this and some thighs today on my wsm.
It is the Bayou Classic Chicken Leg rack. Just ordered it....
recently picked up Killer Hogs BBQ RUB i find it fantastic and can't wait to try the other flavors, I will have to order it from your site because local Walmart only has the one. I am also a fan of the How to BBQ Right dexter Knife great product best price point out there and is great for all kinds of cutting including watermelon
Damn those look good!
Love the rack for cooking wings on the grill too. Simple and great results.
Hey Malcom, its Football season brother. If your up for it can you possibly do a video using your new gadget but instead of legs using wings like pcs56 commented on? I for one would love to see that video!
This is the one I use. I just put coals on both sides of the weber and put the rack in the middle. Put the lid on and let it cook for about an hour. EZ and awesome...Not my pic by the way... wings. i1034.photobucket.com/albums/a429/acwiesemann/IMG_7983_zps66a95148.jpg
Man that is the coolest thing ever! Typically how long do you smoke them at what temp? Im going to find one of those right now! Thanks buddy
Not sure about smoking them at low temp. I usually do them about an hour at 350-375. I just fill a chimney about 1/2-3/4 full coals and then divide the coals evenly on each side of the grill. Season the with some olive oil and season salt (or whatever you like), put the rack in the middle with the heat on each side, put the lid on, and just let em go. Melt butter and hot sauce in a small pot on the stove and then toss the wings in it when they are done.
Rusty KC I got two racks at Lowe's and I also know Home Depot carries them or near the the sam. Best way to cook legs and wings.
Do you think you can hang turkey legs on it because I need a hanger when smoking my Disney style legs
If you buy a rack like that, cook it by itself once before you use it, sometimes they give off fumes because they are mostly cheap.
Sea Hawks good advice
Sea Hawks same thing goes for any smoker I would say, cuz when I used my smoker for the first time everything taste it metal. Lol
oooh brother your videos make me hungry and make me want to cook I smoked my very first brisket this pasted Thursday and I want to start cooking more. my dad growing up would smoke a lot on his smoker which he gave me nd I have been putting to use. send me a link to your website so I can order some rubs.
Yes that rack is awesome....that's the only way to grill chicken legs!
Man that looks good, Malcolm. I found a leg rack at Menard's for 7 bucks. I'll give it a try this week.

How’d they turn out
Great video. I saw the same (or similar) rack at our local Ace Hardware Store.
Hey Malcom, you should try Filipino adobo style chicken legs next. Marinated in garlic, soy sauce, sugar, vinegar, bay leaves and chili flakes. Grill. Then reduce a marinade for a sweet salty sticky glaze.
