Smoked Chicken Thighs

INGREDIENTS

  • 6-8 chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)

  • 2 tbsp yellow mustard

  • 1/2 cup BBQ rub

  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Preheat your smoker to 275°F using Pecan or Apple wood.

  2. Trim any excess fat or loose skin from the chicken thighs. Pat them completely dry with paper towels to ensure the skin does not become rubbery.

  3. Lightly coat the thighs with mustard and apply the dry rub generously on all sides, including under the skin.

  4. Place the chicken thighs directly on the smoker grate, skin-side up.

  5. Smoke until the internal temperature reaches 175°F - 185°F.

  6. Brush BBQ sauce onto the thighs during the final 10-15 minutes of cooking.

  7. Remove the chicken from the smoker and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
