So I sent my wife to the store to get chicken to smoke tomorrow. Obviously I was not clear on what type I wanted and she came back with boneless skinless chicken breasts.
I have been looking around the site tonight and have not really found what I am looking for, but I did find some useful info.
I am planning on doing a quick brine of the chicken breasts and then smoking them with apple wood on the WSM @ 250F until they are above 160F. Since they do not have skin I am guessing I don't need to cook them at higher temps? Will this make the chicken dry?
I planned on mopping these with some bbq sauce near the end of the smoke instead of using a rub.
I am taking the wrong approach to this? Should I just use a kettle and try to smoke them on that? Any comments/suggestions?
