I picked up fresh back attached, skin on whole chicken breasts on sale today $2/lb. ($4/lb for boneless skinless is a really good price around here)
I did 11 lbs of it on the WSM, smoked over Maple Leaf lump and maple wood, around 250F with water in the pan.
I just used maple and chicken together for the first time earlier this week and everybody loved it. I did those 4 whole birds around 350F with no water pan and I thought the chicken dripping smoke was a bit much (too strong).
The breasts were plopped on the WSM after trimming a bit of fat and dangly skin.
About two hours on the smoker, removed at 155F internal, then brushed with a melted butter/EVOO mix ... grilled 5 - 10 minutes.
They turned out really well, I will do them this way again for sure. Gonna go buy some more and FS for the price they are. No fighting over the white meat tonight
Mmmm smoked chicken salad sammies tomorrow
