Marinate the Chicken
Place the chicken thighs in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight for maximum flavor.

Smoke the Chicken
Remove the chicken from the marinade and let any excess liquid drip off. Place the chicken thighs directly on the smoker rack. Close the lid and smoke for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
