Smoking boneless chicken thighs has a rich history rooted in the American South, where barbecue traditions run deep. This cooking method involves slow-cooking the meat over low heat, infusing it with a smoky flavor that's hard to resist. Renowned chefs like Aaron Franklin and Rodney Scott have elevated the art of smoking chicken thighs, drawing inspiration from their Southern roots. The best version of this dish can be found in barbecue joints across the South, where pitmasters meticulously tend to their smokers, ensuring the meat is tender and bursting with flavor. The key to perfecting this dish lies in the seasoning and the wood used for smoking, with hickory and mesquite being popular choices. Whether served with a side of tangy coleslaw or nestled in a soft brioche bun, smoked boneless chicken thighs are a true Southern delicacy that continues to captivate food enthusiasts worldwide.
