I know, I know
No q-view, it didn't happen. Anyway, I brined some chicken thighs and smoked them the other night. We stuffed ourselves but still had some leftovers. I thought about having them for lunch the next day. By the way, these were awesome. So the next day I am getting ready to have them for lunch when... -

First try at brining
I think it was about 4 or 4 1/2 lbs. I cooked it at about 250 for about 2 1/2 to 3 hours. I'm sorry if that isn't precise enough but, I cook mine to temp not time. I took the bird to 170F. I check the thigh and the breast. -
First try at brining
Don't get me wrong. The skin was good. Nice texture. I just thought it was too spicy and salty. Next time I just won't rub if I brine. I think I will alternate rubbing and brining. Thanks for the suggestions. I will definitely try them. -

First try at brining
Pretty much the one you posted except I didn't have any cumin and I added tarragon. We just love the flavor tarragon adds to chicken. -

Tboned by tboner
I would debone them, take the fillet side and wrap it in bacon and smoke it for about 1 and 1/2 hours then finish on a hot grill. The strip side I would marinate them then do a long smoke. They should come out tender and very tasty. -

My first fatty pie
I just had to check. I saw this exact post on the Iowa Outdoors website. It is the same post. Glad to see you spreading the word. The Iowa site was where I heard of this site. By the way, awesome looking smoke. -

Bacon wrapped chicken thighs-qview
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... -
Bacon wrapped chicken thighs-qview
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. -
