About This Recipe

Ingredients

• 3 lbs Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs (excess fat trimmed)
• 1/2 C 72g Brown Sugar
• 2 Tbsp Smoked Paprika
• 2 tsp Cumin
• 2 tsp Dry Mustard
• 2 tsp Garlic Powder
• 2 tsp Kosher Salt
• 1 tsp Black Pepper
• 1 C 240g Light Mayo
• 1/4 C Apple Cider Vinegar
• 2 Tbsp Lemon Juice
• 2 Tbsp Prepared Horseradish
• 1 Tbsp Black Pepper
• 1 Tbsp Ground Mustard
• 2 tsp Garlic Powder
• 1 tsp Kosher Salt
• 1/2 tsp Cayenne Pepper

Instructions

1. Mix the dry rub ingredients together before rubbing over the chicken thighs. Set aside while the smoker heats up to allow the rub to melt in.
2. Preheat a smoker to 375ºF lid closed.
3. Once hot, add the chicken thighs to the grill and cook for 30 minutes or until they reach an internal temperature of 160ºF.
4. While the chicken cooks, mix the sauce together, reserving about 1/2 cup prepared sauce for serving.
5. After 30 minutes, use tongs to dip the chicken in the sauce and place back on the grill. Cook for 15 minutes until the chicken reaches at least 165ºF internally. Remove from the grill and rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
