Smoked Chicken Thighs

These look great. I was just wondering at what temp and for how long you smoked them.

 Chicken does not really benefit from the Low and Slow approach. still you would like some smoke flavor in the meat. For crispy skin you need in the very high 200º, usually I opt for 225º and just finish them up on a hot grill . Somewhere around 2 to 2 1/2 hours on my GOSM for me.

It is a great idea do you have pics of the final result ?

I tried to keep the smoker at 260F +/- 10F and it took 90 minutes for the thighs to hit 170F

Flash - these were boneless skinless chicken thighs so I didn't have to worry about crisping the skin, but I've used the smoker/grill method as well on other cuts and I've been happy with the results.
