Ingredients
  • 1 1/4 cups peach jelly
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce
  • 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1 Tbsp garlic paste or fresh minced garlic
  • 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional for spice)
  • 5 to 6 pounds chicken thighs (approx 10 thighs)
  • kosher salt, pepper
Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together the peach jelly, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, honey, garlic, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using).

  2. Trim extra fat from chicken thighs if needed, place the chicken thighs in a gallon size plastic bag and pour 1 cup of the peach glaze over the chicken. Set the remaining peach mixture aside. Close the bag and massage the chicken so it’s evenly coated. Place in the fridge and marinate several hours or overnight.

  3. Set your smoker to 250 degrees and place the chicken in the smoker, sprinkle with kosher salt and pepper. Smoke them 1 1/2 hours and flip them over, smoke another 1 to 1 1/2 hours, brush more of the peach glaze on the chicken a few times throughout cooking.

    Note: Check to make sure internal temp is 170 degrees.

  4. Serve with remaining peach glaze for dipping.
