Key products

  1. To prepare the Marinade, whisk 3 tablespoons of the FINISH Seasoning, oil and lemon juice in small bowl. Place chicken in resealable bag or shallow dish. Add marinade, turning to coat well. Refrigerate 2 to 3 hours or longer for more flavor.
  2. For the Filling, mix goat cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, remaining 1 tablespoon FINISH Seasoning, garlic and lemon zest until well blended.
  3. Remove chicken from the marinade. Discard any remaining marinade. Place chicken on clean cutting board, skin-side down. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of filling in center of each chicken thigh. Roll each piece of chicken to enclose filling.
  4. Heat smoker to 325°F. Place chicken, seam side down, in deep foil pan; cover with foil. Smoke 45 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  5. Remove chicken from pan and place on large sheet pan. Place on smoker rack uncovered. Smoke 15 minutes longer or until skin is crispy.
