chicken thighs smoked

Smoked chicken thighs made on a pellet grill are incredibly juicy and flavorful. Smoking chicken thighs will take about an hour, and afterward, they&#39;re so tender you can cut them with a fork! The sweet, smoke flavor is so delicious it&#39;s hard to believe it takes only 10 minutes of prep time, making these perfect for a weeknight meal! The pellet smoker cooks these thighs perfectly, and this simple recipe can be doubled or tripled, making it great for a crowd at a barbecue!

chicken thighs (boneless, skinless)

olive oil

tbsp Dry Rub for Chicken

Preheat the smoker to 225°F (make sure it is topped up with wood pellets first).

Drizzle the chicken thighs all over with the olive oil.

Apply the dry rub over the chicken thighs and ensure it covers all parts; top, bottom, and sides.

Once the smoker comes up to temperature, place the chicken thighs directly on the preheated grill and put your thermometer probe in, horizontally through each side, into the thickest part of the meat.

Close the lid and smoke until the internal temperature of the chicken thighs is 165°F. This will take about 1 hour and 15 minutes.

If you like BBQ sauce, apply your favorite sauce for the last few minutes of cooking time.

Remove the smoked chicken thighs from the grill and place them on a serving tray. Cover with aluminum foil and rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to reincorporate into the meat.

Serve with your favorite side dishes and enjoy!
