Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1-2 Tablespoons Hey Grill Hey Chicken Rub or Lemon Herb Chicken Seasoning
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat. Preheat the smoker to 225 degrees F using your favorite hardwood. I like to use oak and mix it with a fruitwood like cherry or apple for a bold flavor.
- Season. Drizzle the olive oil on the chicken breasts and rub to distribute. Sprinkle the Chicken Rub evenly on all sides over each chicken breast. Scroll to the notes section for a link to my Lemon Herb Chicken Seasoning if you don't have any Chicken Rub on hand.
- Smoke. Place the chicken breasts directly on the grill rates and smoke for approximately 1 hour. Cook until the internal temperature of the thickest part of the meat reaches 160 degrees F.
- Rest. Remove the chicken from the smoker. Tent with foil, and let the carryover cooking increase the internal temperature to 165 degrees F.
- Dig in. Once the chicken has reached 165 degrees F, slice, serve, and enjoy!
