What's this?
Classic BBQ chicken thighs are juicy and tender when they're infused with wood-fired flavor. Serve at your backyard BBQ with baked beans and chilled beer.
Ingredients
6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
To Taste salt and ground black pepper
To Taste Traeger Big Game Rub
Steps
1
When ready to cook, set Traeger temperature to 350℉ and preheat, lid closed for 15 minutes.2
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.4
Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
