Ingredients

• Skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs
• Salt
• Black pepper

Instructions

1. Preheat the smoker to 200-225°F.
2. Season both sides of the chicken thighs generously with a 50/50 mix of salt and black pepper.
3. Place the seasoned chicken thighs in the smoker and let them smoke for about 90 minutes to 2 hours.
4. Increase the smoker temperature to 325°F to render the fat under the skin and crisp up the skin.
5. Once the chicken thighs reach a final temperature of around 190°F, remove them from the smoker.
6. Optionally, glaze the chicken thighs with a slightly diluted barbecue sauce and apple cider vinegar mixture.
7. Enjoy the juicy, flavorful, and smoky chicken thighs with a crispy skin overhang.
