If you have a smoker at home, then you need to make this smoked chicken recipe with BBQ sauce. In my (controversial) opinion, it's better than brisket.
Ingredients
- 6 chicken thighs
- salt
- coarsely ground black pepper
-
200ml (7oz) BBQ sauce (recipe available on my website)
Directions
- Preheat your smoker to 110°C (230°F).
Season the chicken thighs on both sides with salt and pepper, then place in the fridge for 2 hours.
Lightly dab the remaining moisture on the chicken with a paper towel (without removing the pepper).
Place them in the smoker, skin side up. Cook until the internal temperature reaches 65°C (149°F). Should take around 45 minutes.
Increase the smoker’s temperature to 150°C (302°F) and warm your BBQ sauce in a pot.
Continue cooking the chicken until the internal temperature reaches 70°C (158°F). Then, brush the thighs generously with BBQ sauce and cook until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy, about 10-12 minutes. Your chicken should end up at 75°C.
Remove the chicken from the smoker and let it rest for 10 minutes.
