What are the balls made with? I've done meatballs with turkey a lot. Never tried with chicken.
 
It looks great but a few words around it would work wonders :)

Sorry. We were taste testing.

Thighs are de-boned, trimmed and skin scraped. Rufus Teague Spicy meat rub. 1.25 hours skin down in muffin pan, chunk of butter on top. Flip, salt and pepper, back in the pan for 45 minutes, brush with SBR, rest and serve.

Wings are rubbed with 5 different rubs. Trying some stuff before comp. 30 minutes, flip, brush on melted butter after 20 minutes, 15 minutes later remove from heat and serve.

So the balls are actually thighs? What's the advantage to cooking them ins a muffin pan?

The thighs really grabbed my attention Jeff. Nice looking cook!
 
Thanks for the feedback! It was my first attempt at "cupcake chicken". Hopefully they'll come out as good next month at comp. Also my first time using Rufus Teague Spicy Meat Rub. Very tasty.
Definitely need more practice. Sunday is looking to be delicious...
 
Decided to do a few more today. Slightly different method.

Thighs were deboned and skin was scraped. Marinaded them in buttermilk for a few hours. Rufus Teague under the skin, on top of the skin and on the bottom of each thigh. Went pretty liberal with it.
Put em skin down in non-perferated muffin pans with a chunk of butter on top. Set the iQue110 to 300 degrees for 2 hours. Took em out of the pans, flipped skin up and put them directly on the grate. Left the smoker at 300 for 20 minutes. Melted some butter and mixed in some SBR. Basted each one then closed the smoker again for 20 more minutes. Took em off and hit em again with the Butter/SBR mix.
Bite was great. Taste was better.
