These Coca Cola Chicken Thighs are perfect for any weeknight grilling! I love to grill any night of the week, and there is just something about sitting on the deck and watching your food cook in the sunshine! Thankfully with the nicer weather we have been having I have been able to grill up a storm! (I have included affiliate links to products I love.

Typically I seem to get weird looks when I say to use Coca-Cola on meat or when BBQing in general! The part I love about cooking with Coca-Cola is that it adds sweetness to the meats and when you use the brines on a tougher cut of meat it helps to tenderize it.

Coca Cola Chicken Thighs Recipe Ingredients:
- Chicken Thighs
- 5 Cans Of Coca Cola
- 2 Tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
- 1/2 Cup Brown Sugar
- 4 Tbsp Minced Garlic
- 4 Tbsp Salt
- Ice
How To Make Smoked Coca Cola Chicken Thighs:
I started by making a batch of my Coca-Cola Brine.
Start with a container or bag large enough to hold the liquid and meat and ice.
Pour in the cans of Coca-Cola. I did five cans; you can change this up with how much chicken you have or the size of the container.
Add your meat to the container.
Mix in all the other brine ingredients
Use a whisk to mix all of the brine ingredients thoroughly.
Top with ice or more Coca-Cola.
All the thighs to brine for at least four hours.
Now I made these Coca Cola Chicken Thighs Recip in my Pit Boss Pro Series from Lowes. Now, if you don’t have Lowes Walmart and Amazon carry other Pit Boss options or Pit Boss website themselves. I had been eyeballing a Traeger grill, but this was more suited for my pocketbook.
I decided to add just a couple of hours of smoke to the chicken thighs, and I used Apple Pellets to smoke my meat, but you could use any flavor.
At about 1:20, I placed them on the Pit boss for a cold smoke and then started grilling 4 hours later.
If you choose not to smoke them, they will still turn out just fine!
Serve and enjoy!
