MARINATED BONELESS, SKINLESS SMOKED CHICKEN THIGHS
Smoky and slightly spicy chicken thighs with a tender and moist interior. The type of hot honey used will have a big impact on how spicy your thighs are; the extra-hot honey has a kick to it. The chicken thighs have a thin smoke ring with a deep mahogany color on the surface of the thighs thanks to the marinade and smoke. Great on a biscuit with extra-hot honey or on a buttered and toasted brioche bun.

Steps:
- Whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, hot honey, shallot, garlic, and chili powder in a medium bowl. Combine hot honey mixture and chicken thighs in a gallon-sized resealable plastic bag. Seal bag and gently massage to work marinade into thighs. Chill in a refrigerator, at least 2 hours, or up to 8 hours.
- Prepare a smoker according to manufacturer's instructions, bringing internal temperature to 225 to 250 degrees F (107 to 120 degrees C); maintain temperature for 15 to 20 minutes. Remove chicken thighs from marinade, and pat dry with paper towels; do not discard marinade.
- Stir together cornstarch and water in a small metal bowl until combined.
- Strain marinade through a fine-mesh strainer into a small saucepan; whisk in cornstarch mixture. Bring marinade mixture to a boil over medium heat, whisking frequently. Reduce heat to low and cook, whisking occasionally, until sauce is thickened, about 3 minutes. Set sauce aside to cool at room temperature.
- Sprinkle chicken thighs evenly with salt and pepper.
- Smoke chicken thighs, maintaining temperature inside smoker, until a thermometer inserted into the thickest portion registers 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), about 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours, brushing chicken thighs with reserved sauce every 15 minutes after the first hour of smoking. Transfer chicken thighs to a plate or platter and serve immediately.

SPICY SMOKED CHICKEN THIGHS
Juicy, tender chicken thighs with a deep mahogany color and a dry heat from gochugaru, chili powder, and cayenne. The heat level isn't overly intense and leaves you wanting more after each bite. Serve with Alabama white barbecue sauce, if desired.

- Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels and sprinkle liberally and evenly with seasoning mixture. Transfer to a large plate or baking sheet.

SPICY SMOKED CHICKEN THIGHS
This is my own recipe for smoking chicken thighs. The sauce is sort of a southern "sweet heat" and has a bit of a kick to it! I generally serve this with coleslaw and baked beans.I hope you enjoy!

Steps:
- For the Brine:.
- Mix all brine ingredients in a large pot and heat just until the sugar has blended well with the water and other ingredients. Stir often during the heating process. Remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature, about an hour. Once the brine has cooled, place chicken in a container and pour the brine mixture until the meat is completely covered. Place in the refrigerator for at least two hours or more, allowing the brine to soak into the meat. Keep in mind that the brine will make the meat saltier, so be careful not to over-brine. Remove the chicken from the brine and lightly rinse with cool water. Pat the chicken as dry as possible with a paper towel, and place on a cookie sheet for the dry rub preparation.
- Prepare your smoker for indirect heat at 250 degrees and soak 2 cups of wood smoking chips (I prefer Apple wood) in water for at least a half hour. While the smoker is rising to temperature and the wood chips are soaking, prepare to apply the dry rub.
- First, brush on a light coating of olive oil onto both sides of the chicken. Next, apply the dry rub to the meat, carefully sprinkling some of the rub under the skin when possible. Remove the smoking chips from the water and pat dry with a towel. Add smoking chips to smoker. Place a drip pan under the surface of where the chicken will be placed and add 2 cups of water or apple juice to the drip pan. Place the chicken on the cooking surface and close the lid. Remember to cook on indirect heat, not directly over the heat source. Carefully maintain temperature between 250-275 degrees for 1 hour and 30minutes, to 1 hour and 45 minutes.
- For the Sauce:.
- Mix all sauce ingredients in a small pot and bring to a light boil, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and allow to cool. Brush on a small amount of sauce during the final ½ hour of smoking and allow the chicken to finish cooking.
- After smoking at a temperature of 250-275 degrees for 1 ½ hours check the meat for doneness, 170 degrees is a good final temperature. Remove from heat and allow to rest for 10 minutes before serving. Serve with additional sauce on the side. Enjoy!

SPICY ROASTED CHICKEN THIGHS
Here, the bright and zesty flavors of lemon, tomato, ginger, jalapeño and garlic contrast beautifully with the rich, tender dark meat of the chicken. If you like your chicken skin extra crispy, slip it under the broiler for a few minutes after roasting. And yes, you can make this with chicken breasts, but we recommend the skin-on, bone-in variety, and keep a close eye on the time; they'll take less time to cook.

Steps:
- Put chicken thighs in a bowl. Mince garlic, ginger and pepper. Toss with all remaining ingredients or put in a small food processor, and grind to a paste. (It is O.K. if the coriander seeds are not fully pulverized. They will add a little crunch.)
- Rub mixture thoroughly into chicken. At this point, you can cover, and refrigerate for up to a day.
- Heat oven to 400 degrees. Put thighs, skin side up, in a roasting pan. Roast for 35 to 45 minutes or until done.
