Chicken Thighs

[Bigtank]

Just picked a 8lb pack of Costco boneless, skinless thighs Sunday for $1.99 lb. I've never purchased these before, I'm guessing I can treat them like breasts for recipes.

I have not seen boneless and skinless thighs in the stores.

But yes I would treat them the same , but thighs are a little juicer
in my opinion. So they can be brined and injected . But might not need it as much as breasts.

Yes, you can. Since it is dark meat, cooking to a higher temp than white meat chicken is a good idea. I'd try something like this:

Smoked Chicken Shawarma

Decided on something different for week 1 kickoff this year. I just got this Trompo King so this fit right in. Chicken shawarma on the Trompo King spit smoked in the Lang with cherry wood. 10 lbs of chicken thighs marinaded overnight in a homemade marinade. Smoked to about 180 at the inner most...

If you do not have the Trompo, just grill and assemble.

I smoke 1, sometimes 2 bags every two weeks for my diet prep. They are not uniform and you need to watch for the rare bit of bone. I thaw them and throw a simple rub on them. In they go at 250 or 275 and they are done before the breasts. They never dry out on me and I never brine them. They're great in salads or soups or even on their own.
