Ingredients

Instructions

  • I started by making a batch of my Coca-Cola Brine. 
  • Start with a large container or bag large enough to hold the liquid, the meat, and the 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 Recipe in my Pit Boss Pro Series from Lowes. 
  • 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 chose not to smoke them they will still turn out just fine!
  • Serve and enjoy!
