Share:
Ingredients
- 8 skin-on bone-in chicken thighs
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon granulated garlic
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the smoker to 225°F.
- Mix the spices together in a bowl.
- Season the chicken thighs on both sides.
- Place the thighs on your smoker and smoke them until the internal temperature hits 155°F. This will take about 1½ hours.
- Once the internal temp is reached, bump the smoker up to 300°F and let them smoke until the internal temperature hits 185°F.
- Let them rest for 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
- A good idea is to salt the chicken separately, ensuring a nice even coating of salt. It is the most important ingredient to juicy and flavorful chicken. Just mix the other 3 spices separately.
- If you wish to put sauce on the chicken, do so when you bump the temperature up to 300°F. Also make sure that it is a sauce on the thinner side. This will allow it to glaze and become sticky much easier, resulting in a better end product.
- This method can also apply to whole chickens. Cook time will vary, but the internal temps are the same, with the breast being done at 175°F.
