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.

- 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.

ASIAN SPICY CHICKEN THIGHS
This recipe is a dramatic modification of an Asian Grilled Chicken recipe I found on Yahoo Health. It's spicy and delicious. I originally made it with chicken thighs but it also works with chicken breasts. Sid dishes I have had it with are asparagus, grilled brussels sprouts, curry couscous and rice pilaf. 5 minutes to prepare, 30 minutes to marinate. "Mmmm, those are great thighs!"
