Applewood Smoked Chicken Thighs
This is one of those recipes that will have all your friends asking for more. The indirect smoking ensures those thighs will be juicy and full of flavour. The last minute addition of BBQ sauce adds just the right amount of stickiness. These are great hot off the grill but also work well cold for a picnic. Enjoy with the Smoked Potato Wedges and crispy coleslaw. You can make up a larger quantity of the rub in an air tight container for quick use next time
