Smoked Chicken Breast
Report
This smoked chicken breast is boneless skinless chicken that's coated in a homemade BBQ seasoning, smoked to tender and juicy perfection, then brushed with BBQ sauce. The best chicken breasts you'll ever eat!

Ingredients
- 1/2 batch chicken brine optional but highly recommended
- 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1/3 cup BBQ Rub homemade or store bought
- 1 cup BBQ sauce homemade or store bought
Instructions
- Follow the brine recipe as instructed, cutting all the ingredients in half. Place your chicken breasts in the bowl of brine, cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.
- Remove your chicken from the brine. Pat dry. Preheat your smoker to 250 degrees F.
- Coat the chicken breasts with the spice rub.
- Place the chicken in the smoker and cook for 60-90 minutes or until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast registers 165 degrees F.
- Brush the chicken breasts with the BBQ sauce then smoke for an additional 10 minutes.
- Let the chicken sit for 5 minutes. Slice and serve with any remaining BBQ sauce.
Notes
- Make sure your chicken breasts are roughly the same size so that they cook evenly and are all done at the same time.
- In my opinion, homemade BBQ rub and BBQ sauce taste best. If you need to use store bought, that's also fine too.
- Brine the chicken so that it is infused with flavor and stays moist in the smoker. I use a half batch of my favorite chicken brine recipe.
