- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Mix together 1 teaspoon of the salt, with the coriander and turmeric, rub spice mixture all over the chicken and season with black pepper.

SMOKED AND GLAZED CHICKEN THIGHS
Smoky, floral, and acidic, these aren't your typical smoked chicken thighs. The lavender comes through nicely and isn't overpowering; the thyme pairs well with the lavender and strawberries. The strawberries and white balsamic pair nicely and the vinegar adds a good bit of acidity to balance the sweetness from the peak-season strawberries and the caramelized sugar. The thighs have a light amount of smoke and are juicy and tender.

Steps:
- Prepare the strawberry gastrique: Puree strawberries in a blender on high speed until completely smooth, about 1 minute.
- Cook sugar in a medium skillet over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until completely melted, amber in color, and nutty in aroma, about 5 minutes. Carefully add vinegar (mixture will crystallize immediately and begin to boil) and reduce heat to low. Cook sugar mixture, stirring frequently, until crystallized sugar is completely dissolved, about 5 minutes. Add strawberry puree and thyme and bring to a simmer over low heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 7 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in salt. Cover to keep warm until ready to use.
- Prepare chicken: Open the bottom vent of a grill completely. Light a charcoal chimney starter filled with briquettes. When briquettes are covered with gray ash, pour them onto the bottom grate of grill, and then push to 1 side of grill. Place 3 to 4 applewood chunks on top of hot coals. Coat top grate with oil. Cover grill and insert an instant-read thermometer into a vent in the lid.
- Stir together lavender, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Sprinkle chicken thighs evenly and liberally with lavender mixture.
- Place chicken thighs on the preheated grill, skin-side up, over the side without coals. Cover and smoke, maintaining temperature inside smoker between 225 and 250 degrees F (107 to 120 degrees C), for 1 1/2 hours. Brush with 1/4 cup gastrique, cover again, and smoke until a meat thermometer inserted into thickest portion registers 170 degrees F (76 degrees C), 15 to 30 more minutes.
- Transfer chicken thighs to a large plate or platter and brush lightly with another 1/4 cup gastrique. Let rest for 10 minutes. Serve with remaining gastrique, if desired.
