I started by seasoning a package of thighs with salt and pepper the night before.

The sauce is pretty simple and is somewhat similar to pit beef sauce. It was pretty thin when I first made it so I used instant potato flakes to thicken it, but I think they would've worked better if the sauce was warm.

I used apple wood for the smoke and when the thighs were done I dunked them in the sauce, which was probably the most fun part of the whole process.

It'd been a couple of years since we last had chicken this way so it was a nice change of pace.
