Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb of Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs
  • 1/2 Tbsp. Garlic Powder
  • 1 Tsp. Cumin
  • 1 Tsp. Coriander
  • 1 Tsp. Onion Powder
  • 1 Tsp. Chili Powder
  • 2 Tsp. Salt
  • 1 Tsp. Paprika
  • 2 Tbsp. Lime Juice

Method
 

  1. Marinate the chicken thighs in all of the other ingredients.
  2. Set up your grill by creating a hot side and a cool side. Soak about 2 cups of hickory wood chips in water.
  3. Once your grill is hot, place your soaked wood chips onto the hot coals.
  4. Put your chicken thighs on the cool side of the grill, close the lid on the grill as well as the vents. Monitor the chicken, let it sit in the smoke for about one hour (if the chicken isn't quite done, cook it longer). In order to prevent your chicken from overcooking, place your chicken on the top rack of your grill (if it has that function) if it's closed to being cooked. The chicken should have a golden reddish color, as you see on the tacos below.
  5. Remove the chicken off of the grill, allow the chicken to cool for about 10 minutes and then dice. Serve with a warm flour or corn tortilla and any other favorite taco treats.
  6. Enjoy!
