Thank you Thirdeye for your Butter Bath Chicken Thighs. I loosely followed his recipe and ended up with the best thighs I've ever made. Good meat, smokey flavor and skin that was the most tender I've ever had. When I used my little hook to move the thighs, juice actually squirted out! Never seen that before. Here's what I did..,
-Thighs from package to sink grate. Poured boiling water over the skin to aid in rendering.
-Seasoned well with Yardbird, then placed in MAK at 275*, with hickory pellets.
-Smoked for 45 minutes, internal about 140*, then placed in pan and added liberal amounts of squeeze butter on each thigh. Covered, then back in cooker.
-Out of cooker in 1/2 hour, internal about 165*. Dredged in sauce, then back in cooker for 15 minutes.
