Thighs....chicken thighs

I must admit that I don't do much chicken other than spatchcocked.  Looking to do some leg quarters and wings, jerk style.  Any suggestions on method, time and temp?  Indirect or direct? 

Thanks
The problem with a problem is that you don't know it's a problem until it's a problem, and that is a big problem.

    I'd say whatever works for your spatch will work for the pieces and parts. Just less time needed.  I do raised, direct, 350ish.

    whatever you decide on, I would make sure you use @Ozzie_Isaac 's sauce. It appears to be applicable to legs, thighs, and breasts.

    Boneless skinless chicken thighs are a fantastic cook on the grill!  So much flavor and so easy to cook.

    I know this is not the advice you wanted, but you really cannot screw them up.  Put any marinade or rub on them and you'll be amazed.  They dark meat in the thighs carry a lot of flavor and the higher fat content keeps them moist.

  • I go bone in, skin on. Oil and season with Whirly Bird. Start cook at 300 and let temps slowly rise to 400 indirect. Cook or 1.5 to 2hours. Coat with Alabama white sauce and give them 5 minutes to let the sauce set before removing them from the grill. I also like to use apple wood when cooking thighs.

    I use white sauce from a place we have in Nashville, Martin's BBQ. It is fantastic!
