Preheat the smoker. Set your smoker to 275 degrees F.
Season the chicken. Drizzle the chicken thighs with the avocado oil and rub all around to thoroughly coat the thighs. Season both sides of the chicken thighs with the Sweet Rub.

Smoke the chicken. Set the chicken on the smoker and cook for around 45 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 175 degrees F.
Rest the chicken. Remove the hot chicken to a large mixing bowl and let it rest for 10 minutes.
Heat the sauce. While the chicken rests, heat the Apple Jalapeño BBQ sauce in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the 2 Tablespoons of butter and whisk to combine. My Everything BBQ Sauce also tastes amazing on this chicken!

Shred the chicken. Using a hand mixer on low speed, shred the chicken into strands. Add in the heated sauce and butter mixture.
Toast the buns. Slice the buns in half and place on a baking sheet, cut side up. Toast under the broiler for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
2 packages Hawaiian sweet rolls
Serve and enjoy. Pile the hot chicken on the toasted buns and serve warm. Enjoy.
