  • 1/2 tablespoon Brown Sugar
  • 1/2 tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar

  • STEP 2.Season the chicken thighs with a smoky rub, making sure to coat them evenly.

Cooking Tips

  • Make sure to use bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs for the best flavor and juiciness.
  • If you don't have a smoker, you can also use a grill with indirect heat. Just add some wood chips for smoky flavor.
  • For a spicier glaze, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the whiskey peach glaze.

Storage and Serving

  • Leftover smoked chicken thighs can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • To reheat, place the chicken thighs in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes, or until heated through.
  • Serve the smoked chicken thighs as a main dish with your favorite sides, such as coleslaw, cornbread, or grilled vegetables.
