Recipe Instructions

Step 1
Mix barbecue sauce and salad dressing together.
Step 2
Put chicken legs in a large zip-top bag and pour sauce all over them. Squeeze out the excess air and seal the bag. Massage marinade into the chicken a bit, then refrigerate for 4 hours.
Step 3
Remove chicken from the refrigerator; set bag on the counter and bring to room temperature, about 1 hour.
Step 4
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-low heat and lightly oil the grate. Load a smoker box with wood chips and set on the grate.
Step 5
Remove chicken from the bag and transfer to the preheated grill. Cover and cook for 10 minutes, then flip, basting both sides with the remaining marinade.
Step 6
Continue to cook (with the lid closed and listening for flare-ups) until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 10 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
Step 7
Remove chicken to a platter and tent with foil. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Italian salad dressing
