    1. Season skin-on thighs with 50/50 mix salt & pepper. Larger granules of salt and pepp preferred.
    2. Smoke thighs, skin side up, at 200 F to 225 F for about an hour or until a meat thermometer reads in the 150s F. Skin should be in the 180s F.
    3. Bump smoker temperature up to 300 F and continue to smoke until meat thermometer reads as 185 F.
    4. Meanwhile mix ACV and your favorite bbq sauce in a tray or bowl to achieve a runny consistency. Consistency should still have viscosity and not runny as water.
    5. When thighs are 185 F, dunk and flip each thigh in your BBQ/ACV sauce mixture and place them back on the grill.
    6. Continue to smoke until sauce thickens up and looks nice and shiny.
    7. Plate it up and eat delicious chicken!

    Here is his secret ... insteading of putting Vinegar in the BBQ sauce... Uncle Blacky would use the "Chicken Juice" as he called it... He had boiled chicken fat in a little water.. and kept it to put in with the BBQ sauce... you can use Chicken Broth too...

    I made this on my tailgater pellet smoker on the job site. Cooked for a crew of 8. Followed about as closely as I could on pellets. IT WAS DELICIOUS. I’ve never seen chicken with a smoke ring so deep it goes all the way to the bone. The glaze was clutch. I’ve only used a glaze like that for ribs. Simply incredible.
    Also, if you’re going to attempt this, cook for color, y’all. Leave those thighs on the heat until that sucker is DARK on the outside. Not black, but a deep dark rich golden brown. It’ll probably temp between 180-190. I didn’t dunk the chickens, I just brushed them with a thin layer of sauce. Just keep adding layers at 300*F , flip them each time, and they’ll come out amazing.
    Also they were dirt cheap. Probably the cheapest meats you can find at Costco.

    These are weekday game changers. I say weekday because I do them in the pellet grill without having to mess with a fire. Don’t get me wrong I will do them anytime I fire up the pit too because you’re right, they are cheap at Costco. One tip I do and I take a page out of the hot wings playbook. Add a stick of melted butter to the sauce that’s been sitting on the smoker. One, who doesn’t like butter? Two, it gives the sauce a better adhesion without thickening up the sauce after you thinned it out some. 👍🏼 Anyways, love the videos! If you are ever in North Texas let me know!

      @@davidcohrs1 I have an SnS Kamado with a Slow N Sear in it, so I just cooked them indirectly until they were probling around 175 or so and then moved them over to put a bit of a sear on them for a few minutes.
      I just seasoned them with a rub I had, if memory serves it was Kent Rollins' Red River Ranch Original. Meat Church Holy Voodoo would be good as well, but I have someone spice intolerant in the house.
      I usually like to dry brine with kosher salt the nighht before and use a salt-free rub, but I've never heard of anyone doing thighs that way because of the skin.

    I tried this in my pellet smoker starting at a lower temp (200 degrees F) to get more smoke flavor, then moved onto 300 degrees F to crisp the skin and the skin turned out unedible. Chicken was extremely juicy but, had to toss the leather (aka skin). I'm looking forward to trying this again keeping with the steps given.

    @jeffaley2895 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Here's my take on Jeremy's awesome recipe / technique. I modified it for my Traeger and for the fact that I'm only cooking for two people.
    First, I trimmed the thighs. This is trivially easy if you have the Secret Weapon: kitchen shears. Snip, snip, done. It doesn't take much time if you're only doing a dozen thighs.
    Seasoning: I followed Jeremy's lead and used S&P.
    Cooking: I used the top rack of my Traeger. Cookinpellets Black Cherry.
    225 deg + SuperSmoke for 1:15. That got the chicken to 150-160 deg.
    300 deg for 0:20 (until chicken was 185 deg).
    Glaze: I mixed up some KC Masterpiece original and apple cider vinegar in a small bowl, and painted it on. For only 4 thighs Jeremy's dunk method was overkill.
    300 deg for 0:15 to set the glaze.
    Eating: The meat was juicy (as predicted) and very tasty. I'd like a bit more smoke flavor. The skin was edible, but not desirable - perhaps stay longer at 300 before glazing.
    Updates: I'm trying this again tonight. I did 4 more thighs w/ the same S&P, 2 with a light S&P + The BBQ Rub, and 2 with only The BBQ Rub. I also switched to Cookinpellets Hickory. We'll see how they turn out :-)
    Thanks Jeremy for your highly-educational videos! I also did Mad Scientist-inspired ribs - great!

    BBQ definition “Undesirable = Amazing”...agreed! Smoked 12 Costco chicken thighs as per Jeremy Yoder’s video. The thighs, along w/ the two racks of pork ribs, turned out perfect! Followed the described process and can only add that the total cook time on my offset for the chicken thighs was 2 hours. 1.5 hours at approximately 225 degrees, glazed and back on for an additional 30 minutes at 250 to 260 degrees (plan was 300 degrees, but didn’t get there). Suffice it to say, chicken thighs were 185+ and skin crispy. Last, family enjoyed and want to say THANK YOU to Jeremy for the education! Being a Texan, I must say brisket is King, then the Ribeye, pork shoulder and chicken.

    I've been cooking thicken chighs for a very long time. I would have glazed them when they were temping at about 165⁰ to 170⁰, then let them come up to 175⁰ to 180⁰ max. Anything over 180⁰ they start rapidly drying out. To me, the perfect temp to pull them from the cooking surface is about 175⁰ to 180⁰. Awesome cook though, learned a lot.
