    RECIPE
    Ingredients
    6 chicken thighs (similar size if possible)
    1 cup of your favorite BBQ rub or Bluff City Rub (see below)
    2 cups of your favorite hot sauce or bbq sauce
    Bluff City Rub
    ½ cup brown sugar
    ½ cup paprika
    2 Tbsp salt
    2 Tbsp garlic powder
    2 Tbsp onion powder
    1 Tbsp sugar
    Instructions
    Following instructions from the video
    Trim excess fat from chicken thigh.
    Pat thighs dry with a paper towel (front and back)
    Apply an even amount of rub to both sides of the chicken thigh.
    Let chicken thighs rest for 30 min - 1 hour at room temperature prior to cooking.
    Set up your charcoal grill for indirect cooking by placing only coals on one side
    of the grill.
    Heat Grill to ~375F
    Place chicken thighs skin side down on grill away from the heat (opposite side
    of coals)
    Cook chicken thighs for 40 min or until an internal temp of ~185F and juices run
    clear
    Move chicken thighs directly over coals skin side down to crisp skin and cook
    for 3-5 min watching closely to prevent burning.
    Flip chicken thighs skin side up and cook for an additional 3 min directly over
    coals.
    Remove from the grill and season again or apply a bbq glaze.
    Return only bbq glazed chicken back to the grill for 5-10 min on the indirect
    cooking side of the grill then remove.
    After removing chicken from the grill let it rest for 5-10 minutes prior to serving.

    The best tip I have for crispy skin is 2 days or so of air drying in the fridge. That way you don’t have to towel dry first, which obviously makes dry brining with kosher salt easier. I just remove any lumps of fat but don’t scrape or remove any skin. Don’t want to since that crispy skin will be the best part! Also check out Chuds BBQ recent video for crispy chicken thigh sandwiches. Almost life changing lol. Haven’t been grilling with my PK long but wow is it a super little grill!

    I’m a year late but nice job guys. The KEY is to dry that chicken as much as possible or else you’re steaming it. I put mine in the fridge for an hour after dabbing it with a paper towel. Then I let the chicken warm up to ALMOST room temp before putting it on the grill. That’s me and it cooks perfectly. Lookin at your chicken, I would eat that with both hands. Looks fantastic!

    • @bluffcitygrub
      @bluffcitygrub  2 роки тому +3

      what about if it's marinating? Do I dry that after, before cooking?

    • @RadarRider226
      @RadarRider226 3 місяці тому +1

      @@gwain7179 I would dab the excess off before adding it to the heat. The marinade should have already penetrated the meat, depending on on how long you marinated it for. After the skin has a sear on it, you can baste it with more of the marinade. You can sometimes get away with a wet marinade as long as your temp is hot. Never try to smoke wet marinaded chicken at lower temps, the skin will turn into a rubber like texture. I hope this helps. 😎👍🏻

      Not for dark meat. With thighs, you want to make sure that it's rendered. If you cook to 165' like chicken breast, it will be chewy and you will question yourself if it's done or not. Hope this helps

      In my opinion brining any chicken or turkey cut is the way to go if you have time. But thighs definitely have a lot of flavor and dont dry out as easy as other cuts. So brine if you like and let us know how it turns out. Thanks for watching!
