Buttermilk Brined Smoked Chicken Thighs

[Ross in Ventura]

Seven thighs in the brine overnight





I used three Rubs for this Smoke Southern Flavor which I have used for 20+ years, Plowboys Yardbird Rub, another great Rub, and Heoric by California Gold Rub a new Rub to use and it is very very good

The top three are Southern Flavor the two on the left are Plowboys Yardbird and the California Gold Rub



Twice Baked Potato in the microwave for 4min. then cut in half stuffed them on to the BGE to smoke with the Chicken for the last 30min.





After 1 hr. I added the potato for the rest of the smoke

Smoked for 2 hrs. then a rest for 10 min.



This was a wonderful meal served with Jackie's saute cabbage with bell pepper. The California Gold is a keeper spice and so are the others

Looks great. The only way to eat chicken is to marinate in buttermilk. The tenderization and flavor addition can't be beat.
