Smoked Chicken Breast
Method
Smoked Chicken Breast
Prepare the rub
In a small bowl, combine kosher salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and brown sugar to create a dry rub.
Oil and rub the chicken
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Brush both sides with olive oil, then massage the rub evenly over the surface of each breast.
Rest the rub
Let the rubbed chicken rest at room temperature for 15-30 minutes to help the seasonings adhere.
Prep the smoker and chips
Rinse and drain the wood chips, then soak in water for at least 30 minutes. Preheat your smoker to 225-250°F (107-121°C).
Smoke the chicken
Place the chicken breasts on the smoker grate. Spritz with apple juice every 20-30 minutes to keep the meat moist.
Check doneness
Smoke until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), which should take about 60-90 minutes depending on thickness.
Rest and serve
Remove from the smoker and let rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Slice and serve.
