Crispy Smoked Chicken Thighs

Juicy and tender chicken thighs seasoned with signature homemade rub and slow smoked over wood for delicious main dish option on the grill.

📝 Ingredients

• 4 Chicken Thighs (bone-in and skin-on)
• 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
• 1 teaspoon Allspice
• 2 teaspoons Smoked Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black Pepper

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Mix the spices together in a small bowl to create your rub.
2. 2Season the chicken on both sides. Additionally, pinch the skin and pull it away from the meat partially without detaching. Rub some of the spice mix below the skin.
3. 3Prepare your smoker for indirect cooking. Using a combination of lump coal and wood chunks heat the grill to about 225 degrees F. Place the chicken thighs skin-side up off-heat and smoke with the lid closed for about 1 1/2 hours or the chicken has reached 160 degrees internally. Remove chicken and set aside.
4. 4Increase heat of smoker to about 400 degrees F. Place the chicken back on the grill directly over the heat and cook for about 5 minutes until chicken skin is crisp. Remove the chicken and serve.
