Directions

• Make the Marinade in a mixing bowl stir the olive oil with soy sauce apple cider vinegar minced garlic, honey onion powder, smoked paprika black pepper, garlic powder salt, and cayenne pepper.
• Marinate the chicken Then, place the thighs of the chicken in a plastic bag that can be sealed or in a dish that is shallow. The marinade should be poured over chicken and ensure that the chicken is coated. Close the bag or cover the dish, and then refrigerate for a minimum of 1 hour, but preferably over night.
• Prepare the Traeger Grill: Heat the Traeger grill to 375 degrees F. Be sure you use wood pellets that go well with chicken, like cherry or apple wood.
• Grill the chicken Take the chicken out of marinade and allow the excess marinade to drain off. The thighs should be placed skin-side-up on the grill's grates. The lid should be closed and the thighs will cook approximately 30-40 minutes.
• Serve with BBQ Sauce Baste with BBQ Sauce: In the final 10 minutes of cooking, brush the chicken in your favorite BBQ sauce. This will result in a tasty glaze.
• Verify the quality of the meat Check doneness by using a meat thermometer to ensure that the internal temperature is 175 degF or more for the best tenderness.
• Rest the chicken: Once cooked, take the thighs of the chicken from the grill and allow them sit for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to disperse.
