This sauce is amazingly delicious. It has a subtle sweetness up front and then a nice manageable after-burn. Right out of the bottle for dipping tastes a lot like spicy blueberry pie, but once...

First I gotta say, I'm not usually big on chicken, however these thighs were some of the best chicken I have ever eaten.
I'll give a short Step by Step, just to show how I did mine:
I started out with 9 Chick Thighs.
I coated 9 thighs with EVO & a good dose of rub.
The rest went like the following:
1:15PM--------------Fill AMNPS with Hickory Pellets, and light one end.
1:30PM--------------Pre-heat MES 40 to 225˚, and put AMNPS in bottom left.
1:45PM--------------Put all 9 Thighs on one grill rack.
2:00PM--------------Put full rack of Thighs in 2nd position of smoker, and empty rack above it.
3:30PM--------------Change heat to 250˚.
3:30PM--------------Also flipped all thighs over, and lost one to my crummy porch floor (Thigh last seen flying over pet cemetery into woods).
4:15PM--------------Change heat to 275˚.
4:30PM--------------Put Stuffed Taters (Mrs Bear made) in pan on top rack.
5:00PM--------------Remove All from smoker.
Thanks Bear! I haven't even had breakfast yet............. everything looks great as always. Not exactly sure why but, thighs are my least favorite part of a chicken. Don't think I'd have any difficulty putting away a couple pieces of them there thighs though
Sounds awesome those sure are going on the to do list Although its really not nice to be putting picture that look that good before I have had breakfast
I am very big on chicken , Bear , and yours sounds and looks spectacular! Love those baked potatoes too. That last plate shot is my idea of heaven.

My tastes are a little strange when it comes to Chicken & Turkey----If I'm just going to eat chicken, thighs are my favorite, but if I'm going to make a Sammy with Mayo or MW, I prefer white meat in the Sammy.

Thanks for the taters idea, I'm going to make them for an appetizer this weekend when my family is in town. ABT / SBTs around lunch taters mid afternoon, pulled pork for dinner =)
Those look fantastic, Bear!! Very nice job. One question...how is the skin on the thighs? Does it crisp up at all at the higher temp? Or if I wanted it crisper, would I need to toss them on a hot grill for a couple of minutes?
