Ingredients

Instructions

  • Trim the thighs removing any excess fat on bone fragments. Combine the bouillon powder and the bbq dry rub, then season the chicken on both sides.
  • Heat the smoker to 275 degrees F. and place the chicken thighs directly on the pellet grill (or any smoker/grill). Cook for about 90 minutes.
  • transfer the Chicken to an aluminum foil pan, pour in bbq sauce and chicken broth, and continue to smoke uncovered for another hour until the thighs reach an internal temperature of about 185 degrees F.
  • Once the chicken is cooked use tongs, forks, or your hands with heat-protective gloves to shred the chicken and combine it with the sauce. You can also use a hand mixer to shred the chicken quickly.
  • Serve with rolls, cole slaw, and extra sauce.
