Need Help party planning advice cooking chicken in advance

[kboss714]

I'm having a party next weekend for my wife's birthday, and I'm making a lot of BBQ and I was asked to do some chicken. I had not planed on chicken but now I will since it's on sale I will probably cook thighs. I will have a full smoker already when the ribs go in. I will have space but it will be before 11 when the ribs go in. The party starts @ 5. Will that be 2 early for the chicken since it will be siting for long time before serving or can I cook it early and then reheat at the party on the grill? Or do I make pulled chicken and hold it in a cooler like you would pulled pork?

You can easily reheat thighs.  They hold up well, especially if you've brined them.
