Smoked Chicken Thighs

Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • Pack of chicken thighs
  • Barbecue rub - Jamaican Jerk and Chipotle BBQ rubs are very popular at our house, but it all depends on what you're in the mood for.

Instructions
 

  • Trim the excess skin off of the chicken thighs. Wash and pat dry, and lay them out on a cookie sheet.
  • Apply the rub to all sides of the thighs. It's really great if you can get some of the rub underneath the skin.
  • Smoke for 30 minutes (If you don't have a smoker you can skip this step)
  • Turn up the heat to 350, and cook for about 30 minutes, or until 140 degrees
  • Turn up the heat to 450, and cook for another 10 minutes, or until 165 degrees. This step helps make the skin crisp.
