Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs boneless chicken thighs (skinless)
- 2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Place the chicken thighs in a resealable bag or bowl. Pour the marinade over the chicken and massage it in thoroughly. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours).
- Preheat your smoker or grill to about 225°F (107°C).

- Transfer the chicken directly over heat for an additional 3-4 minutes on each side to achieve a crispy exterior.
- Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
