These are tasty chicken thighs. I used Pecan wood chunks to smoke the thighs then glazed them with Ginger Apricot Glaze at the end of the cooking process. If you don't have a smoker grilling is fine but you won't get the subtle flavor from the sweetness in the Pecan wood. I removed the skin before glazing to reduce some fat content. If you like crisp skin leave it on. I served the chicken with steamed green beans, salad and light white wine.
