BUFFALO CHICKEN STUFFED SMOKED AVOCADO

Awesome recipe from our buddy over at @cravens_smoke_pit!

These brought out all the flavor with the perfect amount of heat! I used the Holy Diver from Tacticalories and all the grilling was done on my Traeger grills Timberline 850.

BUFFALO CHICKEN STUFFED SMOKED AVOCADO 

• Prep Time: 15 Minutes
• Cook Time: 1 Hour
• 12 Servings

Ingredients:

• 12 Boneless Chicken Thighs (appx. 4 oz. Each)
•  6 Medium Avocados Halved and pitted
•  1 Cup Mozzarella Cheese (shredded)
•  1/4 Cup HOLY DIVER or HELL DIVER from Tacticalories 
•  Salt & Pepper 
• 12 Tsp Duck Fat*
• Blue Cheese Dressing 

* Duck fat can be substituted with Bacon tallow, Ghee, or Full Fat butter.

• Trim any excess fat off of chicken thighs and place into a bowl. 
• Add buffalo sauce and mix until all chicken is sauced. 
• Cover with plastic wrap and place in refrigerator for at least one hour. I like to marinate overnight if possible.
• Pre-heat pellet grill to 300 degrees with lid closed. I used the Traeger apple wood pellets for this cook for added flavor in the chicken and the avocados.
• Remove the sauced chicken thighs from the refrigerator and season with salt and pepper and place on the pre-heated grill.
• Half your avocados and remove the pits.
• Add 1 Tsp of duck fat to each half (or oil of choice)
•  After chicken has been on the grill for 30 minutes, flip all of the thighs. Add avocados to the grill and close the lid.
• Check chicken temp after another 15 minutes, and continue checking every 10 minutes after until desired temp is reached. 
• When chicken has finished, remove from grill, add mozzarella to the avocado halves until cheese has melted through.
• Chop all of the chicken, and add to the finished avocados. Top with Blue Cheese dressing and more buffalo sauce for more heat.

Serve and Enjoy
