Smoked Chicken Thighs

Ingredients

For this recipe, you will need the following ingredients: 8-10 chicken thighs, 1/4 cup olive oil, 1 tablespoon garlic powder, 1 tablespoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon sea salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.

Instructions

To start, preheat your smoker to 225°F. Then, rinse and pat dry the chicken thighs. Place them in a large bowl, and season them with olive oil, garlic powder, oregano, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix the ingredients together until the chicken is evenly coated.

Next, place the chicken thighs on the smoker rack. Close the lid, and let them smoke for 2-3 hours. During the smoking process, check on the chicken every 30 minutes to make sure the temperature is stable. If the temperature starts to drop, add more wood chips to the smoker.

Once the chicken has been smoking for 2-3 hours, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.

Once the chicken is done, remove it from the smoker. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
