These are definitely in the top 3 things most requested from my smoker! Super good, easy, and almost impossible to mess up. Start with boneless, skinless chicken thighs, sprinkle both sides with your favorite chicken rub, half or quarter jalapeños length wise (half or quarter depending on heat you want). Wrap the jalapeño in the chicken thigh, and wrap with a piece of your favorite bacon. Smoke at 275 for 3 to 3 1/2 hours. They are excellent as is, or brush on a little sauce for the last half hour. They will make you famous! I served these with shaved oven roasted Brussel sprouts. Excellent!
I forgot to mention that I also turn the thighs over after 2 hours. You want color all around, but the top is the most important for presentation, so I turn them over after 2 hours, flip them back right side up at 3 hours, and then brush on sauce if so desired.
