Title: Chicken thighs
Post by: Wing Commander on February 10, 2013, 10:57:38 AM: Time for some chicken thighs again: separated them into thighs and drumsticks, rubbed them and put them on the kamado at about 215°F with cherry wood.

Flipped them after 1 1/12 hours.

Glaced the thighs with Blues Hog after 3 hours and raised the temperature.

15 minutes later I flipped the thighs again and glazed all with Blues Hog.

Would you share how you constructed those? It looks like the skin is still on those lollipops.

Don't really know, what to say about the construction - nothing special... Thighs were deboned and rubbed - no further treatment but glazing. The skin was left on both, thighs and lollipops.

Yes, exactly. Do you take the skin off, usually?
