Reserving marinade, place chicken skin side down on greased griII over medium-low indirect heat. Add soaked wood chips. Cover and cook for 1 hour, turning and basting with marinade halfway through.
Transfer to direct heat; cook for 10 minutes per side or until meat thermometer inserted in thigh registers 185°F (85°C). Remove to platter and tent with foil; let stand for 10 minutes before cutting into quarters.
