Chicken thighs

SmokinJ · November 2008

Hello all,

I was doing some chicken thighs today for the Steeler game . I was wondering what temps do yenzs do them and direct or indirect ?I was thinking 300 indirect.

Thanks

I have done many at 350 indirect for about a hour. Also direct with a raised grid would work good. Thighs are great that way.

I agree either way works. Soaked in Italian dressing with cherry smoke is my favorite.

I do 325-350 direct for about 25 mins. (boneless).

I do thighs at 400-425, raised grid, indirect. I cook them to at least 190* internal. Skin side up the entire cook.

These were done direct on a raised grid at about 350, 1/2 hour per side:

I love them direct for an hour and a half...275.
Lots of choices, but this way is my favorite. Doesn't hurt to get them to at least 185 internal.

Have fun!

I switch up on the seasonings.....sometimes an overnight marinate in Italian, sometimes seasoning under the skin (and pinned back on with toothpicks) or maybe just traditional with skin seasoning only. For cooking I do mine raised direct around 250-275, they take about 2 hours. For the sauce lovers, I will let them swim in some thinned sauce another 30 minutes until the skin softens for that bite-thru effect.

Thanks for all the input.I figured many different ways.
I guess I will see how much time I have to cook when I get home and go from there.

Thanks again and those pics looked good.

Sounds like there is no wrong way to do them. You can do just about anything to thighs and you can't kill them.

Zippy, what is the advantage to using a raised grid?

I've done them several ways and they are always good. Thighs are very forgiving. I generally cook at around 325-350 til 180 or so.

The key in the way I make them is to marinade in OJ, Garlic powder, Cumin, onion powder, worsteshire, salt, pepper... One of my favorites for sure.
