Ingredients
-
8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
-
2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
-
2 teaspoons salt
Directions
Prepare a medium-hot fire. Clean and oil the grill grates well.
Rub the chicken all over with the oil and season with salt. Place the chicken, skin-side down, on the grill and cook for 15 minutes, then flip and cook another 15 minutes.
As your wood burns down, push or shovel some coals from the perimeter of the grill inward and add new wood to the top of the coal bed. Repeat every 30 minutes to maintain a medium to medium low fire. Check the ambient temperature around the chicken, aiming for 225 to 250 degrees Fahrenheit
After 30 minutes, brush the chicken with the Jack’s Creek Sauce. Continue cooking, turning, and brushing with sauce every 5 to 7 minutes until well glazed and cooked through, about 30 minutes longer.
Transfer the chicken thighs to a plate and serve.
