Lemon and Herb Smoked Chicken Thighs

[The Burn]

Did this cook tonight for a little family picnic at my step-daughter's dance recital. It's a recipe from one of Ray "Dr. BBQ" Lampe's books. Olive oil, lemon zest & juice, garlic cloves, thyme, salt & pepper. Smoked at 250 with apple wood for about 1 1/2 hours. Tasted almost as good as it looks.



Also did an equal number of thighs with the Simon & Garfunkel rub, but as my gas grill is on its last legs and getting harder to set up good 2-zone, they didn't come out nearly as pretty, but folks at them all the same.



I'll try it again after I get my OTG next week.

I'm not big on dark meat, but that top group looks goooood.

Thighs are my fav

Looks good, Burn! I'm with Jerod on the dark meat but those do look good. Dr. BBQ has some good stuff in his books. I'm a big fan of his big-time rub.

Thanks. I'm a breast man myself. Chicken, that is. But the family likes dark meat & I didn't feel like messing with different cook times. If I had found some good drums, I probably would have done those instead. It always amazes me how much harder - at least for me - it is to get poultry just right
