Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Add the chicken thighs and coat thoroughly. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Smoke the Chicken

    Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C). Place the marinated chicken thighs on the smoker rack and smoke for about 2 hours or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

  3. 3

    Chop the Chicken

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the smoker and let it rest for 10 minutes. Then chop the chicken into small pieces.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Sammie

    In a skillet, heat the chopped chicken with the sweet BBQ sauce until warmed through. Toast the potato buns in the same skillet until golden brown. Place the BBQ chicken on the bottom half of the bun, top with Mont Jack cheese, and cover with the top half of the bun.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve warm with additional BBQ sauce on the side if desired.
