Smoked Chicken Thighs image

I bought a small metal smoker for my Weber gas grill from Wm. Sonoma and I thought I'd give it a try this weekend. I used my grill pan instead of putting the chicken on the grill itself, I find this really helps cook the meat better and prevents burning. These thighs turned out delicious, what a wonderful flavour. I used...

Time 4h20m

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 medium chicken thighs
2 tsp sea salt
1 tsp granulated sugar (i used brown sugar)
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried basil
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp cracked black pepper
wood smoker
water soaked wood chips, i used mesquite

Steps:

  • 1. Mix up the spices and herbs and season the thighs with the mixture. I left this sit over night in the fridge.
  • 2. Place the thighs in the gas grill and smoke the at 225-250'F. In about an hour turn the meat over. You will need to replace the wood in the smoker, take all the old stuff out and use new.
  • 3. Check the temperature of the thighs after 2 hours. If they are at 180'F they done cooking. If not continue on until they are done. This can take 2-5 hours.
  • 4. You can brush some butter over the finished thighs for an added taste treat.
  • 5. Enjoy!
