Smoked Chicken Breast and Thighs Recipe + VIDEO
Report
A fabulously easy recipe to make moist and delicious smoked chicken breast, thighs, or even a whole chicken with barely any effort!
Share:
Ingredients
- 3 pounds boneless chicken breasts and/or thighs 5 lbs. bone-in chicken
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
Instructions
- Preheat the smoker to 350°F. Prep the smoker with necessary wood chips or wood pellets. You can use any smoking wood you prefer, but I like Hickory best for chicken!
- Place the chicken pieces on a large rimmed baking sheet. Pat the pieces dry with a paper towel. Then rub them on all sides with olive oil.
- In a small bowl mix together the salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Sprinkle the spice rub over both sides of the chicken pieces.
- For boneless chicken breast and thighs: Place the chicken pieces on the smoker and close the lid. Smoke for 10 minutes. Flip and smoke the chicken an additional 5 to 10 minutes depending on the size of the pieces. The internal temperature should read 165°F on a meat thermometer.
- For bone-in chicken pieces: Set the chicken pieces on the smoker and close the lid. Smoke the chicken for 25 minutes. Then flip the chicken pieces over and smoke another 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reads 165°F.
Notes
- Let the pieces cool to room temperature, and transfer to an airtight container. Store in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
