I preheat my smoker (Editors Rating 9 out of 10) to 225 degrees Fahrenheit for the primary course of smoked chicken. Oak, Cherry, or fruit wood adds a pleasant, bold flavor to a chicken that is cooked in this way.

This chicken tastes delicious without additional seasoning, and it’s prepared in such a way as to bring out its wonderful flavors and juices. It’s also tasty when served with my honey butter barbecue sauce or my teriyaki barbecue sauce.

How long does it take to smoke chicken breast?

The cook time needed for chicken breast smoked is at least one hour. As a general rule, I suggest smoking chicken at temperature and not to time.

Keep your meats warm by investing in a good instant-read meat thermometer. It will help you to keep track the temperature of thermometer through out the process.

Keep an eye on your chicken as it is placed on the smoker (Editors Rating 9.4 out of 10). Remove the smoke chicken breast on pit boss once the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees Fahrenheit (stick your meat thermometer in the thickest part of the meat), then allow it come to 165 degrees while tented with foil.

The entire procedure is likely to take from 50 to 90 minutes, depending on the size of the chicken, the kind of meat, and how well done you choose it to be. I just love smoked chicken.

The smoke gives the chicken incredibly delicious flavor, and the chicken retains so much moisture.
