Honey Glazed Smoked Chicken Thighs
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 8 chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Instructions
- Preheat your smoker to 250°F (120°C) using your favorite wood chips for flavor.
- In a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 teaspoons of salt, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder.
- Rub the olive oil mixture all over the chicken thighs, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Place the chicken thighs on the smoker rack and smoke for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- While the chicken is smoking, prepare the honey glaze by combining 1/2 cup of honey, 1/4 cup of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar, and 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard in a small saucepan over medium heat.
- Simmer the glaze for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
- Once the chicken thighs are fully cooked, brush the honey glaze over each thigh, then return them to the smoker for an additional 10 minutes to allow the glaze to caramelize.
- Remove the chicken thighs from the smoker and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious honey glazed smoked chicken thighs!
