Thighs from frozen

[normanaj]

Didn't have to many options so I pulled out a package of thighs yesterday morning.

By 1pm they were still fairly solid but I said screw it and dusted them with Kinders Thai BBQ rub and into the MES at 270. Used a tube of char/hickory dust in the mailbox.

After 3 hours or so in the smoker I pulled them and finished them on the grill.

By far the best thighs I've ever done and I've done a lot! This method will now be the norm.

The one and only pic.

I guess it would keep them moister in close to the bone. As long as you hit your internal temperature it's a no-harm-no-foul.

They sure look good.

They look really good. I thaw most everything in sink full of water. Thawed within 30 minutes normally. I might give that a try though. I did some legs this weekend that were pretty good.

I usually do that but I got caught up in hedge trimming and spaced it.

I don't thaw chicken, or steak that's going on the grill. I just toss them on indirect heat for the first few minutes, then move them over the coals to finish them off.

I've done various meat's that were still a little frozen a few times and as long as its not too big of a chunk of meat I don't think there is any issues, like you I have found some advantages such as maybe getting more smoke sometimes.
