Equipment

Ingredients

  • 4 Chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons dry rub or seasoning of choice

Instructions

  • Preheat your smoker.
  • To prepare the chicken, pat it dry, then rub on the olive oil and dry rub seasoning so each piece is well coated.
  • When the smoker is ready, place the chicken directly on the grill. Smoke for 30 minutes on the smoke setting, then turn it up to 225°F. Cook for another 1.5 hours, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 160°F. Remove from the grill and rest under foil for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • You can brush on BBQ sauce, if desired, once the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 140°F.
