Ingredients

  • 3 ½ to 4 lbs bone in skin on chicken thighs
  • 2 Tbsp avocado oil
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp onion powder
  • 2 tsp paprika
  • 1 ½ tsp sea salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper

Instructions

  • Combine the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, and sea salt in a bowl and stir until combined.
  • Transfer the chicken thighs to a large zip lock bag, followed by the avocado oil and seasoning.
  • Seal the bag and shake it around until the chicken thighs are well-coated in oil and seasoning.
  • Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, ideally 8.
  • When you’re ready to smoke the chicken thighs, preheat your smoker to 375 degrees F (mine takes about 15 minutes to preheat).
  • Place the chicken thighs on the smoker skin side-up and replace the cover. Cook for 45 minutes, or until the chicken thighs reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.
  • Serve with side dishes, and enjoy!
