Put leg quarters in and leave them there for at least 6 hours, but no more than 12. Take them out, grill them as mentioned earlier, and itll be the best chicken you've ever eatin. wont need sauce.

Yeah, forgot to mention the brine.
I use Worcestershire sauce instead of soy (like the smoked flavor) and I use a little less brown sugar. And the peppercorns won't do much of you don't crack them first, IMO. Otherwise they're just a shell unless they soak for longer than the 6 hours.
But yeah, brine it if you have the time. Even if you can't get 6 hours, 4 is enough for effect.
