MEMPHIS STYLE BARBECUE CHICKEN

Steps:

• The night prior, mix all dry rub ingredients in a bowl until it appears uniform. Apply the rub to the chicken thighs and let it rest in the refrigerator overnight.
• An hour prior to barbecuing, soak the wood chips in water in the aluminum pan.
• Prepare the grill by dividing the charcoal into two piles on the sides of the charcoal tray, leaving enough room in the center for the aluminum pan to fit.
• Set the grill temperature between 300 and 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Add charcoal or restrict airflow through the grill as needed.
• Set the chicken thighs on the center of the grill, directly on top of the aluminum pan. Cook for at least 45 minutes, or when the internal meat temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Remove the chicken thighs from the grill, and allow them to rest for at least five minutes before serving.
