Instructions

Set the smoker to 200 degrees F.
Use brined chicken breasts. Use the Chicken Brine recipe to do this. Once the breasts have been brined, remove them from the brine and pat them dry using a paper towel. Brush olive oil onto each breast and then apply seasoning on both sides. You'll need about ½ tbsp of seasoning per side.
Once the temperature has been reached in the smoker, place the seasoned chicken breasts on the grill. Smoke Chicken for 30 minutes at 200 degrees F., then increase the smoker temperature to 350 degrees F.
Using a digital thermometer, check the internal temperature of each chicken breast. When a temperature of 165 degrees F has been reached, then remove the chicken from the smoker and allow to rest for 20 minutes. Slice or serve whole.

Notes

An exact time for smoking cannot be given. There are too many variables such as the thickness of each chicken breast, the type or age of the wood chips used, the smoker used etc to give an exact time, but the estimated time is around 3-4 hours. The only way to be certain that the chicken is ready is to use a digital thermometer and wait until 165 degrees F. has been reached.
