This simple recipe produces a delicious sausage that showcases all the rich flavor of dark-meat poultry with savory cheese and a little bit of spice.About the cut: A dark-meat poultry, chicken thighs are a favorite cut for many due to their flavor and tenderness. They start out a little tough because chicken thighs contain more tendons, but when they're cooked properly, they become tender and juicy because thighs contain more fat than white meat.This recipe was created by our partner Joe Lapp who made the dish on our Highland Reverse Flow Offset Smoker, but you can make it on your grill or smoker.
