While grill is heating, trim excess fat and skin from chicken thighs. Season with a light layer of salt and pepper then a layer of Traeger Big Game Rub.3
Place chicken thighs on the grill grate and cook for 35 minutes. Check internal temperature, chicken is done at 165℉, but there is enough fat that they will stay moist at an internal temperature of 180℉ and the texture is better.Grill: 350˚
