Smoked Chicken Breast
by Masterbuilt
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Chicken Breasts (boneless; skin-on for best result)
- 2 tablespoons Butterball Cajun Seasoning (or seasoning of your choice)
- 1 cup Texas-style BBQ Sauce (your preferred brand)
- Suggested wood chips for smoking: Hickory, apple or mesquite chips
Directions
- Trim visible fat from chicken breasts. Rub chicken with Butterball Cajun seasoning (or seasoning of your choice) and refrigerate for minimum of 1 hour.
- Smoking tip: Add one small handful of wood chips to the smoker every hour. Do not add wood chips more than 3 times during the smoking process. Too much smoke can cause your meat to become bitter.
- Preheat smoker to 225 degrees. Smoke chicken directly on rack for 4-6 hours or until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees. (The total cooking time will depend on the cut of the meat - i.e. how thick or thin. We used 3 large breasts and the total cook time was 6 hours.)
- Baste chicken with BBQ sauce during the last hour of cook time. Serve with remaining sauce.
