Trim as much of the fat as you can off of the chicken.
-
Place the chicken in a disposable half hotel pan with the inside up. This is the side that used to contain the bone.
-
Dust the chicken with your favorite rub. I used Kosmos Dirty Bird for this post, but I usually use my basic bbq rub.
-
Flip the chicken over and form them into pieces that resemble the bone-in chicken. See the pic below.
-
Then coat the chicken with more of the rub.
-
Place the chicken into a smoker at 225 and cook it for 1 hour.
-
Remove the chicken, lightly coat it with more rub. Then add 1/2 a can of chicken broth (approx 7 oz) to the pan.
-
Cover and place back into the smoker and cook at 250 degrees for another hour or until the chicken reaches 190 degrees.
-
Remove and then shred the chicken. This can be done quite easily by just squishing the chicken thighs in your hand.
-
Once the chicken is shredded, add a little of the chicken juice from the pan back into the chicken.
-
Serve and enjoy!
