California Farm Airfryer Smoked Chicken Leg Quarters

Chicken leg quarters, thigh attached to the drumstick, weight half a pound each and cost 40 cents a piece at the farmers market, frozen in ten pound bags. One leg quarter feeds two people, because the bone is only 20% of the weight. Smoked chicken meats stay fresh for a week in the fridge. Delicious on sandwiches, in salads, and as snacks. My air fryer smoke method is hands off, the probe thermometer ensures a safe, 165F degree, internally cooked chicken, and the skin is tender, smoked and glazed. By smoking two quarters in the air fryer, enough meat for a week for one person for under one dollar.
