Steps

In a bowl or container, season the chicken thighs with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika and Italian seasoning. Add 1 tbsp of minced garlic and about ½ cup of Spicy Garlic Sauce or your favorite buffalo sauce. Mix everything together, cover, and refrigerate for a couple of hours to marinate.
Fill your hopper with Bear Mountain’s Chef’s Choice Signature Blend pellets to give your food the perfect amount of big smoke flavor.
Heat smoker to 250°F. Place the chicken thighs on the smoker and let them cook for about 1 hour and 30 minutes.
Once the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F, cook 16 oz. of pasta, following the directions on the box. Cut the chicken thighs into cubes or thin strips.
To a smoker safe dish, add the cooked pasta, 1 jar of alfredo sauce, cream cheese, ranch dressing, shredded mozzarella cheese and the chopped chicken thighs. Stir everything together well and top with a little more mozzarella cheese. Place back on the smoker for about 20-30 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
Top with dried parsley, parmesan cheese and more buffalo sauce if desired!
