Smoked Chicken Quarters
« Reply #-1 on: February 25, 2017, 02:56:10 PM »


Felt good to get back to smokin some yardbird parts!! After hitting my MAK 2 Star hard for a year and a half the igniter decided to bite the dust (GFI kept popping when I turned the MAK on). As always, Katrina at MAK took great care of me and immediately sent out a new igniter. The best part, it was free cause my MAK was still covered by the 2 year warranty. Love MAK's customer service ... doesn't get any better than that!!!!

Nothing fancy but the results were outstanding. Rubbed under/on the skin with roasted garlic extra virgin olive oil and seasoned with a light sprinkling of Fagundes Seasoning and McCormick Montreal Chicken Seasoning. Wrapped in plastic and fridged for 4 hours.

Hickory smoked the chicken quarters for 1 hour at 180ºF before bumping the pit temp to 375ºF. Finished the cook at 375ºF until the internal temperature reached 180ºF. Rested the quarters under a foil tent for 10 minutes before serving.

Served with some fried cabbage, mushrooms, and red onions, a side of green salad, and half an avocado.



Check out that well used igniter ... The change out of the igniter was a piece of cake. Followed the provided instructions and had it changed out in no time.

Looks like the color and skin texture is just right.  I'm sure the flavor was, too.
