Equipment
- Pit Boss Grill
Ingredients
- 4 pounds chicken thigh
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
Instructions
- Preheat your Pit Boss to 275°F. Trim the chicken thighs of any excess fat. You can remove the skin, but I recommend leaving it on.
- Then, rub the olive oil all over the chicken thighs, if your making your own spice rub combine the ingredients in a small bowl. If your using a store brough rub grab that. Coat the chicken in the rub and be sure to get all sides and in all cervices.
- Place the chicken thighs on the grates, skin side up, and close the lid. Let the thighs smoke for 1- 1.5 hours until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F. Then, pull out the chicken and place it in a tray.
- Baste the chicken with BBQ sauce and honey. Enough to cover the chicken (it doesn’t need to swim in it).
- Then place the tray into the smoker until internal meat temp hits 175°F (about 20-30min). Rest for 20 minutes.
