Cooked the thighs @250° indirect with a small amount of white oak for smoke & rubbed with DP Fajitaish.  


Once they hit 185ish I moved them outside of the PS to get a little crisp. Pulled at 205 as an average 


Pulled the chicken and into the CI with the peppers,onions, tomatoes and the fajita seasonings 




Plated with some fresh cilantro 


The taste was spot on.   Thanks for looking!

    It was funny as hell that your pulled chicken re- surfaced today.  I was looking at it no more than 10mins before @sgh bumped it.  

    There's about 2 servings left if you are close.

    Question my friend. Do you prefer pulled chicken over traditional? I ask because you see fewer and fewer folks making it these days. Heck even most joints have stopped serving it pulled

    Depending on what I am making.  For sandwiches, tacos or fajitas I prefer pulled chicken.  For something where the chicken is the main dish I prefer whole pieces of chicken.  I just recently started using the thighs for pulling, before I would use bone in breast. Results were good but nowhere near the juiciness of the thighs.

    Those ole thighs are a tough act to follow when it comes to making pulled chicken. They are my least favorite cut of chicken EXCEPT when making pulled chicken. For this they are unbeatable. Again, outstanding looking plate my friend.
