Smoked chicken
Prep time: 2 min
Cook time: 1 min
Servings: 6
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.
