How Long to Cook Boneless Skinless Smoked Chicken Thighs in the smoker

Preheat smoker to 275°F (135°C) with your choice of wood. Prepare boneless skinless smoked chicken thighs (2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs (4–6 oz each), trimmed of loose fat and dry-rubbed).

Cook for 60–75 mins. Flip at the 40-minute mark for even browning.

Exterior takes on a warm amber-brown color and the meat has firmed up but still yields — a squeeze with tongs shows visible juice at the seams without weeping fully. Confirm internal temperature reaches 175°F (79°C) — dark meat renders past USDA minimum. Rest for 5 minutes before serving.
