Steps

1. Pat chicken dry and lightly oil.
2. Season all over with **Cowboy Butter**.
3. Smoke at 275°F until thighs hit ~175°F.
4. Rest 10 minutes.

Why this works

The flavor holds up to smoke and helps the skin brown, giving you a rich finish without extra sauce.

Pro tip

If skin is soft, finish 5 minutes at higher heat to tighten it up.
