I absolutely LOVE chicken thighs, and I typically do them over oak on my Santa Maria pit. Since I have an abundance of briqs, I decided to utilize my OTG today. For this cook, I used 1 chimney of Stubbs, and had the Kettle cruising at around 325-350 on the hot side. I used a combination of direct & indirect during this cook, and I think they turned out nicely. The meat was moist, and the skin crispy.


Half was coated with a 50/50 mix of Santa Maria/HDD, the other half I used Rub Some Butt...It is a Carolina Style mustard & vinegar rub I received from fellow Brethren caliking (http://www.bbq-brethren.com/forum/showthread.php?t=120839), really nice flavor.

I also had a couple few peppers in the fridge, so I coated them with EVOO & Santa Maria.

Broccoli? Why not...I sprinkled some toasted pine nuts for good measure. This was a fantastic meal, I really like the flavor profiles that both rubs bring to the table...Thanks for checking it out :thumb:

I love chicken thighs! I find they're really hard to screw up. Pretty much moist and tender no matter what you do to them, but these look amazing with the rub on them. The peppers, too. I'd be all over that whole meal. Great looking stuff! :thumb:
