Smoked Dry-Rubbed Chicken Thighs
Ingredients
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon oregano
  • 8 skinless, boneless chicken thighs
  • 1 cup cherry wood chips, or as needed
Instructions
1
Begin by preheating your smoker to a moderate temperature of 200 degrees Fahrenheit (93 degrees Celsius).
2
In a separate container, mix together the following dry rub ingredients: salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, paprika, garlic powder, thyme, and oregano.
3
Rub the dry mixture all over the chicken thighs to coat them evenly.
4
Smoke the chicken thighs using cherry wood for a period of 1 hour, ensuring they are evenly cooked.
5
Every 30 minutes, flip and rotate the chicken thighs to ensure even cooking throughout their entire smoking time.
6
Continue to smoke the chicken thighs until they have reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius), which should take approximately another hour.
