How to BBQ Chicken, Thighs - All the details you just can't get in a short video

[@TheRickdoggie]

Love how you left the pepper mistake in your video.

[@TonyToneBBQ]

Thanks Rick! Yeah, it seems like most of the popular videos are made by people trying to become movie producers or something. I like my videos to be as real as possible, without being too crappy, LOL! Thanks for watching and I appreciate the feedback!

[@outlaw5065]

Did this earlier in the week, on the smoking champ and my son loves drumsticks but never tried the thighs, he absolutely loved them, thighs are the best part of a chicken

[@TonyToneBBQ]

I agree! Thighs are super flavorful. It's that extra skin and fat, delicious! Thanks for the comment!

[@ourlifeinwyoming4654]

We’re always searching for new methods and recipes for chicken. Beef is expensive; chicken is an affordable protein. Can’t wait to try this. Thank you!

[@TonyToneBBQ]

Hey you're welcome! Thanks for watching!

[@tdawg5253]

I love to see the Judge. I bought one last June. Keep putting Judge videos out! I'd like to see different styles of cooks. From burgers, wings to ribs and bbq. Different cook styles. Im loving it.

[@TonyToneBBQ]

Awesome! Thanks! I've got a bunch of Judge videos planned so stay tuned my friend. Thanks for watching!

[@johnpenner2632]

No bbq adventure would be complete without an incident like the pepper grinder, nice recovery! Thanks for the chicken thigh tutorial, great advice.

[@No1zHerO]

I love grilling chicken 🍗 thank you 🙏I just started glazing my chicken 🍗 it takes it to a whole new level!

[@Kidfantasy1]

Looks delicious. Great job explaining the cooking process & grate maintenance.

[@TonyToneBBQ]

Thank you!

[@carlosgordon7301]

As always, great content and super comprehensive

[@TonyToneBBQ]

Thank you Carlos!!!

[@GoochiesBBQ]

Great video, good work. - Chicken is one of my favourites to grill!

[@TonyToneBBQ]

Thank you! I appreciate that!

[@berniestewart1738]

Never been a huge fan of the cast iron grates but whatever works best for you.

[@TonyToneBBQ]

That's what it's all about! Always go with with whatever works best for you. Thanks for watching!

[@blue81blue81]

Nice job with chx. The two temp zone, good separation between coals and meat, sauce on towards end...👍 You do good instructional videos. The cast iron grates are fine but I'm a huge fan of grillgrates. Love them. Zero flare ups but still a fantastic char/finish on outside of meat. On my previous chargriller champ had custom grates made and actually threw away the iron. Just bought a bigger Chargriller and the custom grates don't fit but I use them on top of the iron with very good results. I still use the iron for slow cooks, brats, dogs, and my grill skillet. Gotta use good maintenence on the iron though as you say. Your offset fire start and management vid was very good as well. Happy grillin !!

[@berniestewart1738]

I didn’t even know about the judge, I have a Highland and the Longhorn. When I am smoking wings I put a chimney on the two further sides and put the wings in the middle over nothing. After about 45 minutes or so they are done with no flipping. At about a half hour into the cooking I just walk to the stack and give it a whiff, then I know we’re getting close.

[@TonyToneBBQ]

I like it!

[@jasonr8665]

Love your videos sir, great content. Will be buying the judge because of you.

[@TonyToneBBQ]

It's a great rig and I'm sure you'll love it! Thanks for watching and I really appreciate your comment!

[@edpritchard3001]

Love your videos!! The Judge is such a great grill/smoker..

[@TonyToneBBQ]

I agree! Thank you so much!

[@Zokfend]

Great video, I agree, chicken cooked over direct heat is absolutely delicious, my favorite way of eating thighs. And I always enjoy watching your videos. They are always so casual and conversational.

[@TonyToneBBQ]

Thank you! I really appreciate that! So many videos are so rehearsed and produced. I'd like to upgrade my equipment but I'll never go away from the natural format. Thanks for watching!

[@thesupergamermario3701]

I love your videos. Keep up the good work.

[@TonyToneBBQ]

Thank you! I really appreciate that!

[@mg3299]

[@jeremybacon8519]

Thanks

[@TonyToneBBQ]

You're welcome! Thanks for watching!

[@randypoe560]

great video as always! can you do pork loin on the offset, direct heat tri-tip on your judge and center cut pork belly for slicing? keep up t he great work.

[@TonyToneBBQ]

Great suggestions! I'll add these to the list. I appreciate your comment and thanks for watching!

[@mauriceyoung07017]

He had me when he said...this works for me, and also to season to own liking...my guy

[@TonyToneBBQ]

Thank you so much!

[@bmoc1925]

Great Video! Now Time to do a Brisket on the Char Griller XD.

[@TonyToneBBQ]

Yeah, your right. I need to get a brisket video up. I might work on that this coming weekend. Thanks for watching and thanks for your comment!

[@heinzsteves6690]

Hi Tony I just watched you cook swift ribs. It was great.. I. Saw where you put your smoke wood away. From the fire, wowever do you put some wood on the fire?

[@TonyToneBBQ]

Yes, I place the wood away from the fire just to get it nice and hot so that when I do put a new split on the fire, it catches and burns right away. After starting the fire with lump charcoal, I only add wood splits from then on. Here's a link to a video that goes into a lot of detail on using wood in an offset smoker. Thanks! kzbin.info/www/bejne/j3_Gm2htgrh3fpo

[@shumardi1]

I’ve have a few Webers but it looks like you are Oklahoma Joe. I’ve never really looked at OK Joe before but it looks like you are getting great results with them.

[@Indomation-nv7yo]

😂😂😂 no editing, love it

[@joeanita8654]

I have an OK Joes Highlander with a wood burning firebox I put in when the old firebox burned-out. Just smiked a pork shoulder with only Beech lumps. It was awesome. Should you pre steam chicken? I saw that trick from some friends of mine.

[@TonyToneBBQ]

Nice! That sounds good! Pre-steam chicken? I've never heard of anyone doing that, and I don't think it's something I'd want to try. If smoking chicken, cooking the outside with steam would prevent it from absorbing flavor from the burning wood. If cooking over coals, pretty much the same thing and besides that, I can't think of any way pre steaming would be any benefit. If you try it, please let me know how it works for you. Thanks!

[@JohnyScissors]

And hey even if you mess up worst thing you do is burn the skin. Rip that off and you still got some great meat underneath. Would love to see a vid on grilling ribs!

[@TonyToneBBQ]

That's right! Thanks for that comment! I do have a couple vids on my channel where I grill ribs along with other things, but I'll do a video on just ribs. Beef or Pork, what's your preference?

[@JohnyScissors]

@@TonyToneBBQ Lets do beef

[@TonyToneBBQ]

@@JohnyScissors you got it! Beef ribs added to my list. Stay tuned!

[@waynedrumm1018]

I remember you saying that white smoke isn’t good when you’re smoking on another video ….. the white smoke here is it good?

[@TonyToneBBQ]

That's an excellent observation Wayne! I'm glad you brought that up. The difference here is that I'm using charcoal and this is direct heat barbeque. When cooking this way, white smoke doesn't matter because it's a totally different kind of smoke. While smoke only matters when cooking slow-and-low with an offset and burning wood for the heat. When wood doesn't get enough air, it smolders and creates white smoke that leaves a bitter flavor on the food and if you let that go on too long, the stronger that bitter flavor is. Charcoal does not have that problem, even in an offset smoker. Thanks for asking!

[@michaelapanasewicz9967]

Very informative video great content would like to see you do baby back ribs

[@TonyToneBBQ]

Thank you! Working on some baby back ribs right now! Stay tuned. Hopefully I'll have this video up by tomorrow. Thanks again!

[@shumardi1]

Some people score the skin on thighs to let the rendered fat leak out. Have you tried that?

[@No1zHerO]

4:40 😂

[@lorenavasqu]

I just got a beautiful new Oklahoma Joes - with smoker ., Cantcwsit to season it and try these great chicken 🍗 thighs ! You are all the piece🥳. It looks so delicious I’m from Tx and love to bbq .🍗- Great videos and instructions.

[@TonyToneBBQ]

Thank you and I really appreciate your comment! Congratulations on that new Oklahoma Joe's! How's it going so far? Did you get it seasoned and grill up that chicken? Keep me posted if you get a chance. Thanks again!

[@atsalyahuisrael]

You definitely suppose to clean slime and yellow fat off of that chicken🤢🤮

[@TonyToneBBQ]

Why?

[@mokush4me412]

Rinse the excess blood off the chicken first..

[@anthonyblair1465]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@TonyToneBBQ]

You must have seen the part where my salt and pepper grinder fell apart. Lol!
