1
Prepare the Chicken
Rinse the chicken legs under cold water and pat them dry. Season with salt and black pepper, then rub olive oil all over the chicken.
2
Smoke the Chicken
Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C). Soak applewood chips in water for 30 minutes, then drain. Place the soaked chips in the smoker and arrange the chicken legs on the grill grate. Smoke for about 2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
3
Prepare the Slaw
In a large bowl, combine shredded apples and celery. Toss with a dressing made from honey, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt.
4
Serve
Plate the smoked chicken legs and top with crumbled Asher Blue Cheese. Drizzle with ghost pepper sauce and serve alongside the apple and celery slaw.
