Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Rinse the chicken thighs under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Season the Chicken

    In a large bowl, mix olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Add the chicken thighs and toss to coat evenly.

  3. 3

    Preheat the Smoker

    Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C) using your preferred wood chips.

  4. 4

    Smoke the Chicken

    Place the seasoned chicken thighs in the smoker and smoke for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

  5. 5

    Glaze the Chicken

    During the last 30 minutes of smoking, brush your choice of sauce over the chicken thighs.

  6. 6

    Rest and Serve

    Remove the chicken from the smoker and let it rest for 10 minutes before serving.
