Directions
- 1
Prepare the Chicken
Pat the boneless chicken quarters dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This allows for better seasoning and smoking.

Make the Marinade
In a bowl, mix together olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, apple cider vinegar, and honey to create a marinade.
- 3
Marinate the Chicken
Coat the chicken quarters evenly with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for the best flavor.

Prepare the Smoker
Soak wood chips in water for at least 30 minutes. Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C).

Add Wood Chips
Add the soaked wood chips to the smoker according to the manufacturer’s instructions, ensuring they are ready to create smoke.

Smoke the Chicken
Place the marinated chicken quarters on the smoker grate. Close the lid and smoke for about 2 to 2.5 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
