Thought I might try something different tomorrow. Boned out six chicken thighs. Separated the skin and lightly pounded them out. Dusted both sides of the thighs with my version of Yardbird, and put the skin back on and dusted it. Wrapped it one, and in the refrigerator for the night. Tomorrow right before I put them in the smoker, I'll put a fresh roasted Hatch Green Chile and some jack cheese in the center of the thigh. I'll fold the thigh around the chile and cheese and pin it. Then into the muffin pan and in the smoker. Pictures to follow.

Muffin pans...really?? 

Can I suggest some parsley as garnish?

Only because they've been boned.
As far as the green crap, if I said what I'd like on that subject, I'd be back on probation. The chile will be enough green for my taste.

Don't forget the pics too.....

That sounds like a great recipe ... a little like chicken cordon bleu with the Hatch green chile replacing the ham!

Also Chicken Cordon Bleu is made with a chicken breast, it's breaded, and this is being smoked. So, maybe very little Chicken Cordon Bleu except that it's a chicken stuffed with something.

Almost forgot, Cordon Bleu uses Swiss Cheese, not Jack Cheese. Hate it when I forget something.

not just any swiss sir. use emantaller swiss cheese.

oh and for the thigh to be called a little monster, ya need to wrap that thigh in bacon. just gotta watch the cheese cause it tends to run out.

Great idea, I've got some homemade chipotle smoked bacon I'll put inside with the chile and cheese.
Thanks buddy.
