Of the hundreds of times I've cooked chicken, I've never moved off the breasts. But today I noticed the grocer had leg quarters for $.49/lb. I couldn't pass it up, but I don't really know how to cook them. At first I was thinking grill them because that's what I've always done with chicken, but I got to thinking that I could throw them on the UDS. Right now I have them getting happy in the fridge with some kickin' chicken rub. I have about 4 to 5 hours to get this done, so plenty of time either way.
So is there any general wisdom about grilling vs. smoking chicken quarters? I'm leaning towards smoking, if that's an option. What should I consider as far a cooking temps and cooking times?
Thanks for your help in advance.
