- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 large russet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 2 teaspoons of smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of onion powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper to create a spice rub.
- Rub the spice mixture all over the chicken thighs, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to marinate.
- Prepare your smoker for cooking, bringing the temperature to 225°F. Add wood chips for smoke flavor.
- Place the marinated chicken thighs on the smoker rack and smoke for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove from the smoker and let rest for 10 minutes before serving.
- While the chicken is smoking, place the diced potatoes and minced garlic in a large pot. Cover with water and bring to a boil. Cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.

- Serve the smoked chicken with a generous portion of garlic mashed potatoes. Enjoy!
Smoked chicken, a beloved dish with a rich history, has been a staple in Southern cuisine for generations. The process of smoking chicken dates back to Native American and African cooking techniques, where meat was preserved and flavored with smoke. Today, this dish has evolved into a popular choice on menus across the United States. When paired with creamy garlic mashed potatoes, the smoky flavor of the chicken perfectly complements the savory richness of the potatoes. Chefs like Emeril Lagasse and Bobby Flay have put their own spin on this classic combination, adding their signature flair to the dish. In the South, renowned restaurants like Husk in Charleston, South Carolina, are known for serving up exceptional smoked chicken with a side of garlic mashed potatoes. The key to achieving the best version of this dish lies in the quality of the chicken and the mastery of the smoking process. Whether prepared in a traditional smoker or using modern techniques, the result is a mouthwatering dish that satisfies the soul.
