Instructions

  • Preheat the smoker. Set your smoker to 275 degrees F. I recommend a fruit wood like cherry or apple so the smoke doesn’t overwhelm the mild flavor of your chicken.
  • Season the chicken. Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel, then sprinkle both sides with the Spicy Sweet Rub.

  • Smoke the chicken. Place your seasoned chicken thighs on the smoker grates and close the lid. Allow the chicken to cook for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 175 degrees F with an instant-read thermometer.
  • Rest and shred the chicken. Transfer your cooked chicken thighs to a cutting board to rest for 5-10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute so each bite is full of chicken flavor. After allowing your chicken to rest, shred it and you’re ready to build your nachos.
  • Assemble nachos and finish cooking. Spread your tortilla chips into an even layer on a baking sheet, then top with the shredded cheese and chicken. Drizzle half of the Hot Honey BBQ Sauce onto the nachos, then return the baking sheet to the smoker. Allow them to cook for 5-10 more minutes, until the cheese melts.
