Grilled Chicken Thighs

I grilled these for Oscar's first birthday party and people were in love. They were so complimentary with them! Inspiration video.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Get a large amount of charcoal started. I think I did 3/4 charcoal chimney full.
  2. Throw on one side of grill (I used my 'Slow n Sear')
  3. Open bottom vents fully, top vent only 25% open. Wait 5 min for temp to rise up.
  4. Place all thighs on grill - indirect heat.
  5. Place a baseball-sized chunk of oak on the hot coals
  6. After an hour, flip thighs. Check temp. We're looking for ~175 F.
  7. Check temp every 15 min for 175. Add 5-15 charcoal if temp is dropping below 350. I stayed around 400 for this bbq.
  8. Once reached 175, baste with bbq sauce.
  9. Go another 20-30 minutes til the bbq sauce has caramelized. May need to flip thighs in between.
  10. I seared the non-skin side for a few seconds over the coals before taking off.
  11. Rest for 20 min, serve.
