That chicken has no business looking that delicious 😭😭😭 I can’t wait to buy my smoker and try this!

[@Nicks-BBQ]

Haha thanks for the compliment. Hope your chicken turns out great!

[@texmsmrfc]

Best vid yet my man. Your personality really came through and appreciate the authenticity. Keep up the great work.

[@Nicks-BBQ]

Wow thanks so much. That's an amazing compliment! I really want to make videos that people love to watch. My wife and I are studying how to edit better and make better content. Hearing feedback like that lets me know we are doing something right :D

[@christophermeeson8350]

[@Old80sPimp]

[@Nicks-BBQ]

[@mattnelson9395]

[@Nicks-BBQ]

Thanks! Makes me happy to know the videos help :D I got plenty coming!

[@im0nfier3]

put ur hands down bro this aint a robbery xD

[@Nicks-BBQ]

HHh your funny 🤣

[@shanewoosley8303]

Great video. Gonna try those maybe today.

[@TheDWZemke]

The trick is to do the first half as quickly and only 1/2 to 3/4 down... do not spill ... then do the 2nd half @ max coverage then re cover the first 1/2 half again but cover to max level with out spilling...

[@TheDWZemke]

Fyi I'm feeding 125 people with pulled pork I'm making 50 chicken legs just for non pork people... nice job. Goal is to do both at slow and 225 to 250...

[@Nicks-BBQ]

wow! I have done some big cooks but not 125 people. How many pounds of pork you doing? like 40-50ish?

[@christianbriones6124]

rule number 1 in smoking.... never change the temp when the smoke is already in progress!!! nice looking legs tho!!!

[@Nicks-BBQ]

Thank you! I've never heard that before. What's the reason?

[@christianbriones6124]

@@Nicks-BBQ well for instance if you are smoking a brisket at 250 say about an hour in maybe two that meat is already in the process of cooking a certain way and once you change that temperature it's almost like flipping a steak too many times for better reference.

[@christianbriones6124]

@@Nicks-BBQ sometimes it'll also change how the outside and inside Cooks 👍🏼

[@ShariHarris-ok7lf]

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. I use the chicken rack to cook a larger rib on top in the oven just remember to use Pam on the rack before cooking on it.

[@Nicks-BBQ]

That is good advice! I love my rack too. I'll have to try wrapping the tips in foil as well.

[@JonathanFox-uj1rv]

I pick one up on Saturday!!😊😊

[@Nicks-BBQ]

That's sweet! Have a great weekend!

[@jeffreyheese]

Great video on chicken legs. Thank you. I plan on making these for the 4th this year. Any updates or tweeks?

[@Nicks-BBQ]

Thanks! No updates or tweaks really. Most important thing is to cook it to the right temperature and it'll turn out good.

I Just Tried Smoking Chicken Legs For The First Time Today, I Have The Smokin Ace Offset Smoker. Unfortunately My Attempt Was Unsuccessful. The First Thing That Went Wrong I Couldn’t Keep The Temp Above 250F. I Ended Cooking Them For About 4 Hours. I Used Wood Chips And They Only Burned For About 3-5 Mins And Most Importantly My Chicken Temp Was Around 130F. I Give Up

[@Nicks-BBQ]

Thanks for commenting on the video. When using an offset smoker you'll need to use charcoal as a base for heat and the wood is for smoke flavor. You can use sticks or chunks. On an offset you can smoke chicken around 275.

[@cheriecave9080]

Will be trying this tonight with a different glaze. No link for the leg/beer can contraption? Great video! Thank you!!

[@Nicks-BBQ]

I thought I put one in the description but I got it at Walmart not Amazon. It was from Cuisinart

[@jimbennett1519]

Good video man but where did you get that rack? Inquiring minds need to know lol

[@Nicks-BBQ]

I bought it at Walmart. I think the brand was cuisinart. It was only 18 bucks I believe.

[@jimbennett1519]

@@Nicks-BBQ Thanks

[@Picklerickyi]

Please come back

[@Nicks-BBQ]

I really want too. Filming got so difficult with my wife being my videographer and having kids at home with our 3rd on the way. I'm currently saving money to hire out videography. Working 60 hours a week at my job and also been getting my health in order. When I started the channel I was 315 pounds I'm down to 240 now. I'll be back when the lords timing is right!

[@ismy47]

Im new to smoking chicken so i checked the temp with a thermometer but the meat still has a pinkish red tint to them. Is that normal temp reached 170f

[@Nicks-BBQ]

I smoke my legs all the way up to 185 it'll be more juicy imo but when you smoke mest the outside will be red or pink. That's the meat sucking in the smoke. If it is pink in the center of the meat it's still raw. But on the outside it's okay.

[@davidallen7102]

Where did you get that rack, please post the link, please

[@Nicks-BBQ]

I just tagged the product I used so if you click the link it'll take you to the page where you can buy it

[@knuckle_dragger]

Are those front legs or back legs that you're smoking?

[@Nicks-BBQ]

Chickens have two legs and two wings. These are the big drumsticks on the legs of the chicken. Not the little drums that come on the wings you get

[@knuckle_dragger]

@Nicks-BBQ lol I know, it was a just a joke, I want to smoke some chicken legs in my pit boss 700 pretty soon

[@Nicks-BBQ]

@@knuckle_dragger DO IT!! This is the perfect weekend lol

[@Paul-ng4jx]

Is that a smoker or a grill? It’s not smoking every time you open it up I open up my smoker it pours out smoke.

[@Nicks-BBQ]

It's a pit boss pellet grill. What do you have?

[@Doug6714]

Great video. I need to smoke some legs for my wife. Keep smoking

[@Nicks-BBQ]

Indeed brother. Legs are great on the smoker.

I just bought one, but I'm not getting the smoke. Any tips?

[@Nicks-BBQ]

What kind of smoker? Does it have pellets? Explain in more detail your issue and I might be able to help

[@B_Payne]

I have the austin xl and was using hickory pellets.

[@Nicks-BBQ]

@@B_Payne I'm not exactly sure what the issue would be honestly. I would try calling customer support for pit boss. You might have a faulty part.

You want chicken cold af when you put it on. Not set out for 30 minutes

Makes a minimal difference. In smoke absorption. Don't see the point.
