Poultry Chicken Thighs on the Traeger

[primeone]

Last night was my first time cooking Chicken Thighs on the Traeger and I was surprised how good they turned out. I was looking through the Traeger app ended up following a recipe in one of the comments.

Lightly brushed oil over the chicken.
I covered the chicken with Traeger Chicken Rub (Citrus and Black Pepper)

I cooked the chicken at 375 for about 45 minutes flipping half way through.

Love thighs on a Traeger, mostly when they were cut correctly from the store, but that dark meat is my FAV
Good job big guy

Smoked Chicken Pillows. Yum. Love em' when they go on sale at my local H-E-B for fiddy cents a pound. Low & slow.

I do them all the time, but hotter and faster;

Oil and rub, rest for 1hr.

Using GrillGrates at 430F for 10min then flip
Check at 8min-10min for 165F minimum internal.

Thighs are forgiving, 165F-180F is OK. Always nice and juicy.

I have tried Meat Church, Traeger Chicken, Weber Cajun, garlic herb, Jack Daniel's, they are all great! My wife likes breasts with the green herb rubs, I like thighs with all the spicier red rubs!
