- Pound chicken thighs, if desired. Combine soy sauce, vegetable oil, chile paste, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and red chile flakes in a large owl. Whisk to completely dissolve chile paste. Add chicken and stir to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours.
- Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.

KONA K'S TOO EASY SMOKY & SPICY CHICKEN THIGHS
These chicken thighs are so yummy and easy to make! Perfect for busy weeknights. Just get the spices together the night before, allow the thighs to marinate over-night, and voila -- no need to worry about tomorrow's dinner. I love the spicy and smoky flavors, and the thighs remain juicy on the inside with a nice crispy crunch outside! I haven't tried this with other meats, but I have a feeling this will go great with pork as well!

SPICY SMOKED CHICKEN THIGHS
Juicy, tender chicken thighs with a deep mahogany color and a dry heat from gochugaru, chili powder, and cayenne. The heat level isn't overly intense and leaves you wanting more after each bite. Serve with Alabama white barbecue sauce, if desired.

Steps:
- Stir together smoked paprika, chili powder, gochugaru, salt, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, and black pepper in a small bowl.
- Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels and sprinkle liberally and evenly with seasoning mixture. Transfer to a large plate or baking sheet.
- Open the bottom vent of a grill completely. Light a charcoal chimney starter filled with briquettes. When briquettes are covered with gray ash, pour them onto bottom grate of grill, and then push to 1 side of the grill. Place 3 to 5 oak wood chunks on top of hot coals. Coat top grate with oil; place on grill. Maintain internal temperature at 225 degrees F (107 degrees C) for 15 to 20 minutes.
- Place chicken thighs, skin-side up, on the oiled grate of the preheated grill, over the side without coals. Cover and smoke until chicken is deep mahogany in color and a thermometer inserted into thickest portion registers 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), about 2 hours. Remove chicken thighs from grill and transfer to a large platter.
- Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Tips:
- Choose the right chicken thighs: Look for bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs for the best flavor and texture.
- Make sure the chicken is well-seasoned: The rub for these chicken thighs is packed with flavor, so don't skip it. Be sure to massage it into the chicken so that it evenly coats the meat.
- Cook the chicken over indirect heat: This will help to prevent the chicken from drying out. If you're using a charcoal grill, place the chicken on the opposite side of the coals from the heat source. If you're using a gas grill, turn off the burner under the chicken.
- Cook the chicken until it is cooked through: The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit. You can check the temperature using a meat thermometer.
- Let the chicken rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.
Conclusion:
These smoky, spicy chicken thighs are a delicious and easy-to-make meal. They're perfect for a summer cookout or a weeknight dinner. Serve them with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables, mashed potatoes, or coleslaw.
