Ingredients
12 medium sized bone-in skin-on chicken thighs 1 (4 ounce) stick salted butter
2 cups water
1⁄4 cup Butchers BBQ Rotisserie Injection
Big Poppa Smokers Sweet Money Rub Simply Marvelous Genie’s Trinity Rub Simply Marvelous Sweet Seduction Rub 2 cups Craig’s BBQ Sauce
1 1⁄2 cups Blues Hogs Champions Blend Sauce 1⁄2 cup apple juice
Method
1| Prep. To trim the thighs, remove the fat on the edge of thighs and any visible blood veins. Scrape the edges of the skin to remove any remaining excess fat. The goal is to make all the thighs the same size so they cook at the same rate, each weighing approximately 5 ounces after trimming. Cut the butter into 12 equal size slices and set aside.
2| Inject. Mix the water and injection mixture, stirring until the injection mixture has completely dissolved. Place a wire rack in a pan and set the chicken thighs on the rack skin side down. Inject about 1 ounce of the injection mixture into each thigh. Aim to inject each thigh approximately five times in various muscles.
3| Rub. Sprinkle the non-skin side of the meat with Big Poppa Smokers Sweet Money Rub and place them in the refrigerator uncovered for 2 hours. Remove thighs from refrigerator. Turn them over with the skin side up and reshape them so they all look uniform. Sprinkle the skin side with Simply Marvelous Genie’s Trinity Rub. Place the thighs back in refrigerator uncovered for 1 hour.
