1
Prepare the Chicken
In a bowl, combine olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture all over the chicken thighs.
2
Set Up the Smoker
Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C). Add wood chips of your choice (hickory or applewood are great options) to the smoker.
3
Smoke the Chicken
Place the seasoned chicken thighs in the smoker. Smoke for about 3-4 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
4
Shred the Chicken
Once smoked, remove the chicken and let it rest for 10-15 minutes. Then, shred the chicken using two forks.
5
Mix with BBQ Sauce
In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken with chicken broth and BBQ sauce. Mix well.
6
Serve
Serve the smoked pulled chicken on buns, with additional BBQ sauce if desired.
