Well, I saw someone else did these. Here is my attempt.

I took some chicken thighs and deboned them. Next I added some lemon pepper and garlic powder and let them firm up in the fridge for about an hour. I decide to stuff them with mozzarella cheese and onion.

Here I am stuffing and rolling them up.


Ready to go.


On the heat.


Ha-ha, he thinks he is gonna get some. He ended up being good and got a bite.


Almost done.


The finished product.


Well, this sums up how they went over.




I wasn't overly happy with the amount of smoke, but the flavor was awesome. My wife said we WILL be having these again. Who am I to argue with her.

Thighs are my favorite. A good twist on them.

I wish it was my idea. But, I have to be honest. I got the idea from here. The only difference was my wife couldn't find any Tender Quick. I need to work on getting some more smoke on them. I will keep posted on any updates.

Well they sure did look good Jim.
What kind of wood did you smoke them over?

I used apple with a little hickory. The flavor was right, just not enough and no smoke ring. I know the problem, I just have to figure out how to fix it. The chicken fat was dripping on the wood and wouldn't let it smoke. I need to install a drip pan. It's usually not a problem. I just need to do an easy mod.

Looks great !!! nice qview

Two complaints though.

First you didn't offer me an invite before or ask me where to ship any of those tasty looking leftovers to

Second , 800X in photobucket fits better on my screen and I don't have to scroll to read the text

Those really do look great , and I'm putting them on my short list for this summer

1894, first, what leftovers? Second, I'm new to photobucket, I will try to figure it out so the pics are more manageable.


My next attempt will be the elusive "fatty". Crikey, she's a beauty.
