Ingredients:

Serving

1 1/2 cups hickory wood chips
1 tbsp ancho chile powder
1 1/2 tsp sugar
1 1/2 tsp granulated garlic
1 1/2 tsp ground cumin
1 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
3/4 tsp kosher salt
12 bone-in chicken thighs, skinned (about 2 1/2 lb)
1 1/2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
6 tbsp amber agave syrup
3 tbsp tequila
1 1/2 tbsp hot sauce
1 1/2 tbsp butter
1 1/2 tbsp fresh lime juice
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper
cooking spray
3 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
6 lime wedges

Directions:

Soak wood chips in water 30 minutes; drain well.
Preheat grill to medium-high heat using both burners. After preheating, turn the left burner off (leave the right burner on). Pierce the bottom of a disposable aluminum foil pan several times with the tip of a knife. Place pan on heat element on heated side of grill; add wood chips to pan. Let chips stand for 15 minutes or until smoking.
Combine chile powder and next 5 ingredients (through salt) in a medium bowl. Add chicken to bowl; toss well. Add oil to bowl; toss well.
Place syrup and next 5 ingredients (through red pepper) in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil. Cook until mixture is reduced to 1/2 cup and begins to thicken (about 3 minutes). Reserve syrup mixture.
Place chicken, meaty side down, on grill rack coated with cooking spray over left burner (indirect heat). Brush chicken with 2 tablespoons syrup mixture; grill 15 minutes. Turn chicken over. Brush with 2 tablespoons syrup mixture; grill 15 minutes. Turn chicken over and move to direct heat; grill 5 minutes or until done. Garnish with cilantro, if desired. Serve with remaining syrup mixture and lime wedges.
