Gateway Drum Smoker - Chicken Thighs

In this video I do some Chicken Thighs on the gateway drum smoker! I go over the entire process from starting the grill, to prepping and seasoning the chicken thighs, to cooking them!
NOTE: In the video I say these took about 200 minutes...more like they took 100 minutes... I don't math very well.
The main rub I used on these chicken thighs was the Loot N' Booty Gold Star Chicken Rub and a light dusting of Tailgaters BBQ Party Rub. When I went to wrap these chicken thighs up I added 1 stick of Kerrygold Pure Irish Butter and added about 1 TBSP of tailgaters to it. The sauce I used for these thighs was Blues Hog Champions Blend and this sauce is for sure my new favorite!
These chicken thighs may take a bit longer to prep up but I guarantee if you take the extra time you will not be disappointed with the results! 🍻🍻

Hey Brian, did the skin bite chicken as you suggested, 12 thighs on the 18 inch WSM at 315 degrees ( it was 117 on my prep table, I use both ports on my thermo smoke, 315 in the cooker and prob on the table) it was blazing hot in Chicago today ! B+B Oak and Kosmos Honey Killer Bee. Sauce was store purchase then self doctored. It worked!!! Finally was able to get bite thru chicken. The real test will be if I can do it when it’s zero outside with 2 feet on snow ⛄️ lol. Thanks so much.

Good job on those thighs, hope your competitions are doing well with cash and trophies. You know for some reason I remember seeing people scrape off the back of the skin, I may be wrong seeing how well yours came out. Late to the show obviously, but it was enjoyable and I learned a bit to give it a try

@MadHorseBBQ Год назад

Thanks Wayne and we did pretty good this last year at comps! And we take the hard fat off the skins but we don’t scrape but a lot of teams do.

@@MadHorseBBQ oh there’s plenty of Busch light down here in Florida. That and Natty light are staples. Recently purchased the Oklahoma joes bronco pro. Love that smoker.

@jameshuston4622 2 года назад

Great video I have one question how would you do it if you had a WSM and not a Drum. Pan in pan out. You had the chicken on a rack and a pan so the grease never reached the coals, please help

@MadHorseBBQ 2 года назад

You could do it the same exact way. The chicken is only on for 30 minutes for the 1st part so it’s up to you. But as far as the cook goes on the WSM just take your water pan out and it’s gonna give you darn near the same results as cooking on a drum.

Quick tip for all of you. Start the fire at the opposite end of the intakes. Easier fire management, won't burn as quick. Low and slow possible without cutting off so much air that you get soot. Youre welcome.
