Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs

  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • 1/2 cup Buffalo Wild Wings Spicy Garlic Sauce
  • 16 oz Cellentani pasta
  • 15 oz jar Alfredo sauce
  • 4 oz cream cheese
  • 8 oz shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup ranch dressing

Instructions

  • Marinade chicken by adding chicken thighs to a bowl or container. Season chicken thighs with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and Italian seasoning. Add 1 tbsp of minced garlic and about 1/2 a cup of Spicy Garlic Sauce or your favorite buffalo sauce. Stir chicken, seasonings, and sauce all together. Cover with a lid and place in the refrigerator for a couple of hours.
  • Heat the smoker to 250 degrees F. Place chicken thighs directly on the smoker and let them cook for about 1 hour and 30 minutes or until the chicken thighs reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees.
  • Once chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F with a meat thermometer cook 16 oz of pasta following the directions on the box. Cut the chicken thighs into cubes.
  • To a smoker safe dish, add 16 oz of cooked pasta, 1 jar of Alfredo sauce, cream cheese, ranch dressing, shredded mozzarella cheese, and the chopped up chicken thighs. Stir everything together well and top with a little bit 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. Enjoy!
