Seriously Easy SMOKED CHICKEN THIGHS!

[@glamderinggaming3859]

If I was the backyard neighbors I'd be constantly hungry. Look at all that smoke!

[@JohnJohnson-sx1cd]

Spray , rub , spray, smoke, and sauce, a lot of S’s super simple

[@mikesweeney1127]

Great job Suzy! I’ll make your recipe for my wife of 50 years and maybe she’ll keep me around for another decade or so. You guys are the best!

[@lauras3666]

Dude if you’re cooking she will keep you

[@2427chap]

My family is seven people from 7 to 50…. I’m 50;) Unanimous vote…best chicken we’ve ever had. Louisiana grill pellet grill. So happy. Thank you, Hey Grill Hey!

[@jefflundquist5771]

Chicken thighs are the best part of the bird, and those look amazing!

[@bobdillon7832]

Thanks for that pro tip of spraying with oil, before and after the rub! I like smoking chicken leg quarters- you get the best of both worlds!

[@lionelt.9124]

The joy from the little guys face is why I've started learning to smoke and BBQ. 😊

[@jefffromflint2573]

I've tried several of your meat smoking recipes, and every one has turned out perfectly. Thanks for the tips, and keep doing what you're doing!

[@donnieb1950]

I'm anxious to try this. Question: Why not place them on a wire cooking racking during prep? The surface of the chicken would remain undisturbed after applying the rub. Just a thought.

[@GrnEyez64]

Great tips, TY. Just tried out this technique on my first pellet grill (lil' Traeger Tailgater) with a half chicken and I'm very happy with the result. The skin was bite-through tender, the meat super juicy, and flavor was lip smacking good.

[@Illudenocte]

Followed the recipe and cooked these on my pit boss pro pellet smoker with competion blend pellets. Turned out fantastic! Whe had 7 theighs and only sauced four. The dry rub ones ended up fantastic also.

[@lindavanschyndel8790]

Hey Susie I just made these on my old, inefficient, kinda cheap in hindsight, offset smoker. They took a little longer as I am very new to using my smoker due to failure when I first got it and never returned until now. I made your rub as I am in Canada and it’s not as easy to get your products, followed your instructions and it’s 3:30 pm and I couldn’t wait for supper to try them. Had one! It was delicious and a cheaper way for me to try to get used to regulating the temp on my smoker. Thank you. I’m trying a brisket that I just bought but currently have pork belly curing in the fridge following your video. I will be following it and your brisket video oh goddess of BBQ smoking❤️❤️I love your videos and will be watching for more😍thank you for sharing your experiences and recipes

[@EvilDwarf-pp5py]

Those look phenomenal. Love the video. Your personality shines through 👍

[@colindyer4810]

U are awesome love smoking chicken my self so glad u are rocking your channel big hugs for you and your family cheers from Oz

[@Jaydawg1250]

I'm drooling. You are a Backyard BBQ hero for sure!!

[@bmbunch8825]

Never even thought about checking the sauces I use for liquid smoke! Probably why I sometimes get over powered by the smoke flavors and other times it's perfect.

[@MrBullet888]

Dry brining works too for crispy skin if you don't want to sauce them. Applewood on Weber kettle and they come out great. Great video. 👊

[@brianhall4649]

These were some of the most delicious chicken thighs ever. Another great Suzy recipe that has been added to our list of smoking / grilling favs.

[@BRTardiff]

Who else assumed they were going in the Masterbuilt? 😂 Great looking chicken, Suzy.

[@Heygrillhey]

Food for another video was in there...

[@tiffany10cheer]

We were confused too reward it multiple times because it comes off the masterbuilt. Or it seemed that way with the foil

[@hom296]

What rub did you use…maybe that went over my head!

hey Suzy thanks for all your help in every meat...through all the videos you don't have an alternative for no sugar people. Keto or diabetic need a no sugar rub. would love to buy from your store but the hardest thing to find is no sugar rubs. thanks again Suzy and Todd

[@madlakejake7370]

First time watching your videos, very informational and I like how you’re willing to share recipes. Thank you

Doing these right this very minute here in Southern, NJ! Thanks for this!!

[@Mbartn]

Sooooo jelly of the bite, nice video Susie, ty!

[@fldays6798]

Great job now I am hungry thanks for sharing keep the cameras rolling from Florida.

[@lauras3666]

This works with any rub or spices, personally I have used it to make jerk chicken. Minus the spray because jerk already has oil. 45 mins check temp. 160-165, then crank it up to 400 for 5. Let rest for 15-20 mins

[@theathjr]

Chosen Avocado oil is THE BEST !! We really love the spray also !

[@davidkearley4717]

They look great. I have never been able to get thighs to have bite through skin yet. Im going to try this and see if it’ll work thanks for sharing it.

[@Kjellmclean]

The key is "sharp teeth", apparently... 😉 Lol

[@hardwaterfanatic]

This is one of our favorites! We use your homemade rub recipe as well and they've always been a hit!

[@vanq884]

Very happy I had run across your handle a few years ago. let your hubby know to leave you alone your details are welcome and needed.

[@padrespeaks]

I do a very similar take on this for my meal prep. Skinless thighs, they get three kinds of rub, cooked somewhat hot and fast on a kettle with vortex accessory, they're sauce at 30 mins done in an hour. Great work Suzy :)

[@infinimetrical]

Last time I smoked chicken, I got a pack of drumsticks, (my grandfather's favorite) and shook them in a bag with seasoning, and marinaded them in the seasoning and their own juices in the fridge for a day or so. Smoked them for hours at 180°. Friend of mine recommended 225° for a juicier cook. Looking at chicken thighs due to higher fat content.

[@msvideos7]

Tried cooking it your and boy oh boy did they come out delicious 😋 👍🏽thanks hey girl!

[@kevseb66]

So many folks I know don't like chicken thighs. I truly don't understand why. They're so meaty and delicious. Yours look absolutely amazing.

[@robertbusek30]

Maybe because the culture has trained us to prefer breast meat?

[@ezrabrooks12]

@@robertbusek30 /// THAT OR THEY'VE NEVER HAD ANY THAT WERE COOKED RIGHT!!!!!.... YOU'VE GOT TO KNOW HOW TO COOK CHICKEN!!!!!......I'VE ALWAYS LOVED THIGHS AND LEGS,OF COURSE THE BREAST IS MY FAVORITE PART!!!!!!

[@robertbusek30]

@@ezrabrooks12 In my experience, chicken thighs (with or without bones) are pretty much foolproof. Breasts, not so much…

[@randyr6610]

Ok I got to try this my chicken skin always come out rubber, got to try your way next time. Thank you for the info.

[@lacystarr9907]

I make these with one difference. I smoke a jalapeno with the chicken then before I add the bbq, I take the jalapeno and blend it up with some peach preserves. I then add that to my bbq sauce for the chicken. It works great on ribs as well.

[@doghairdontcarelindaniel7531]

Hey I like your style…..smoked jalapeño now that is a notch up friend.

[@michaelmattichiii1595]

I must say I watch a lot of barbecue channels and I'm inclined to believe this is the best barbecue channel bar none !! I base my observation on the amount of detail you get into such as cooking to 175 degrees, applying the rub with spray,and so forth.Your barbecue is easy to follow.Thank you so much for sharing your expertise and a shout out to Tod. In last place is Barbecue Pit Boys, a real nice bunch of dedicated guys,however they sadly are not on your level. Too rudimentary

[@WeberSharpening]

Its all about the rotisserie flat basket set up. I've done it this way on a kettle and gas grill. Honestly the gas grill works best at about 325 indirect heat.

[@JudiChristopher]

"Amen Sista... Amen" Beautiful Chicken

[@r12rtpilot]

The skin was crispy enough, but Marina thinks the juicy, smoky flavor is out of this world. Next time, I'll use some spray butter rather than cooking oil. I am in love with your website.

[@sergioaguirre6428]

You are always turning out great food! I made this last week using your sweet rub and whiskey peach sauce. It was amazing. I used the sear box to caramelize the sauce. Didn’t think to use the oil but will next time time.

[@smokefire_southern_eats]

Hey! I do that multi spray technique on my smoked meats as well! Glad I found your channel.. Awesome content!

[@BelindaHunt-sn4gc]

I've watched a lot of youtubes on the subject...THIS makes sense!!

Just pulled these off the Recteq....Thanks, Suzy. PS: I wonder how they be with a strip of bacon wrapped around each thigh?

[@elJORGEdeZALOYA]

First of all your have a great hair day. Second thighs are my favorite part of the chicken. Im all in on this video. Thanks for the recipe.

Do you brine your chicken when u cook Chicken thighs on the smoker .and do u use Season wood . They use seasonwood when you're in charcoal Or do you Royal Oak for what I use

[@TheSquirrel49721]

Looks great!!! Looks like I got the same smoker 36” SGX sometimes I see tin foil on the drip tray didn’t want to use because I didn’t want to cover vents! What do you recommend!! Tasty!!!

[@Heygrillhey]

The only function of the vents is to allow direct access to the firepot for the slide and grill feature. Covering them up won't do anything to change the cook unless you're utilizing that feature.

[@KennasKitchen]

2:00 great tip! No-one likes leathery chicken skin. Love your videos!

[@gerardvandendorpel6907]

First time i made chicken this way, my wife thought it was undercoocked. Now she is smiling when seeing that color, because she likes the smokey flavor. Great video and everyone should make this at least once

[@evohead]

Thank you so much for this recipe! It was an absolute hit and chicken thighs came out very juicy. My only complaint is my pellet grill just doesn't seem to give the smoke flavor I'm looking for. I see the smoke color but can't taste the smoke flavor of the pellets..

[@chrisjones5970]

Try Bear Mountain pellets. Used to use Pit Boss pellets and had the same issue.
