Bacon Wrapped Chicken Thigh

[Its_Raw]

I tried smoking bacon wrapped chicken thighs last night and they turned out great! I pulled them off at 165-170 and was pleased to see that the bacon was done and had a good texture. My only complaint, I seasoned the chicken and then the bacon after the chicken was wrapped. Slightly too much salt and the bacon did not need it. Next time I am going to use a sweeter rub with less salt as the bacon seemed to provide plenty of extra salt flavor. I might even put a bit of pepper jack cheese inside the chicken next time.

Sounds great! Thighs have become my favorite part of the chicken!

Well no picture so it must've been a dream , love thighs the best and it's amazing how much moisture a boneless skinless has in it, I will throw them on the griddle with a rub or lemon pepper, great stuff. I have been slacking on the pictures and cooking for a few months due to surgery but hope to get back up to speed soon, leg 1/4's have always been a favorite smoke for me. separate to speed it up as they cook quicker.

Banger recipe! Chicken thighs have been such a great part to work with, so your recipe is a nice addition to my recipes for it.
