Smoked BBQ Chicken Thighs
Smoked BBQ Chicken Thighs may seem simple but the seasoning for these and the extra wood fired flavor makes them incredible!
Equipment
- Traeger/Pellet Grill
- Smoker
Ingredients
- 4 to 5 pounds chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons BBQ seasoning of choice (plus more to sprinkle over top)
- 2 tablespoons garlic paste or minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- kosher salt, pepper
- Optional: a tablespoon of soy sauce
Instructions
- Trim the chicken thighs if needed and place them in a gallon size plastic bag. Add the olive oil, BBQ seasoning, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, kosher salt, pepper, and soy sauce if using.
- Massage the bag until the chicken is evenly coated. Marinate in the fridge for several hours.
- Set your smoker or pellet grill to 250 degrees and place the chicken on the smoker grate. Sprinkle more BBQ seasoning over top. Smoke them 1 1/2 hours and flip them over, smoke another 1 to 1 1/2 hours or until the internal temperature is above 165 degrees and skin is cooked to your liking.
