Into the BGE running at 275 degrees

Let it go 'til the internal temperature was 190 (I like 'em real tender)

And this is how they turned out. Moist, tender and delicious, with bite through skin. To see how I trimmed them, go to The Hog Blog by clicking on the link in my signature.

Competition quality looking thighs for sure.
Did you brine them or no?

Thank you. No, I don't brine my thighs for comps (though I have tried it in the past), I marinate. This method of cooking seems to keep them moist, and I prefer the texture of un-brined thighs. For this cook, I did neither and they still turned out great.

I'll add that for comps, I cover the pan for the second hour to make sure they stay moist.
 
Those thighs look great

Made me hungry and warm both at the same time.

That is a welcome sensation combo any time of the year.

Thanks for sharing your expertise with us.
 
Those look amazing and I bet they tasted amazing as well... I always do whole chickens, makes me really want to try just thighs! :-D
