I wanted to do something different this time with chicken thighs, so I found a recipe here. I
followed the recipe fairy close except I substituted granulated onion for the onion powder, white
pepper for the black pepper and added granulated garlic to the spice mix. But first, I removed
the skin, trimmed off the excess fat and then brined them for about 5 hours in Mad Hunky Chicken
brine. (For those who don’t know me I always try to brine chicken and pork before putting them on the grill.)
The thighs were dried off, seasoned with the smoky rub and then wrapped in 2 slices of thick bacon each.
The bacon was then seasoned with the rub. The recipe also calls for putting them in the oven,
but with me that ain’t gonna happen, not as long as I have charcoal.
Put onto the Performer, using RO lump and a couple chunks of cherry wood.
Glazed with Plowboys Sweet 180.
Thighs are done!
Plated my wife’s broccoli salad and French fries.
Delicious and filling dinner. This was a great combination of the spicy smoky rub and the Sweet 180.
If you like sweet heat give this one a shot.
Thanks for looking!
