INGREDIENTS
- 2 1/2 lb chicken thighs, boneless, skinless
- 1 cup Smoke on Wheels KC Bootleg BBQ Sauce
- 1 cup pineapple juice
- R butts R Smokin’ Honey Chipotle Rub
- 1 pineapple, sliced into 1/2” thick rounds, rind removed
INSTRUCTIONS
- Slice the chicken thighs in half length-wise.
- Combine the Smoke on Wheels KC Bootleg BBQ Sauce and pineapple juice in a Briner Mini 4 quart brining bucket and whisk to combine. Add the chicken to the Briner Bucket. Lock the plate in place to keep the chicken submerged. Marinate refrigerated for 2 hours.
- Preheat your Yoder Smokers YS640S Pellet Grill to 500°F set up for direct grilling with GrillGrate grilling panels in place over the fire box.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade. Thread onto flat bamboo skewers. Season with R butts R Smokin’ Honey Chipotle.
- Strain the marinade to remove any solids, and transfer the liquid to a cast iron skillet. Bring the marinade to a simmer and cook for a minimum of 5 minutes, and until you achieve a thickened consistency for glazing the chicken.
- Grill your pineapple rounds briefly to get some nice grill marks. Remove from the grill and set aside.
- Grill the chicken, flipping to get grill marks on all sides. Remove from the grill when the internal temperature reaches 165°F-175°F in the deepest part of the thigh.
- While the chicken is cooking, dice the pineapple, discarding the cores of the rounds.
- Remove the chicken from the grill and immediately brush with the glaze on all sides.
- Serve the chicken skewers family style on a platter with the diced grilled pineapple sprinkled over the top.
