Pulled Chicken

Daughter likes smoked, pulled chicken and I have tried it a couple ways. Read some posts last week and I think it was @Mattman3969 who suggested the method I used.
225-240degrees with some apple chunks, gave the chickens a little rub (can't remember which one but since it sat on the skin and I didn't pull the skin I consider it inconsequential), put the birds on for about 8.5 hours. Actually checked the breasts and they were about 180 but I wasn't cooking to temp. Holy crap was it good! Good flavor, super easy to pull (literally fell apart), breasts were a little dry but that was all.

love pulled chicken, a chicken barb sandwich is a staple up here in my area. try cooking it upside down next time, the breasts wont dry that way, i do that for pulled turkey, it pulls apart with the tongs

@fishlessman
Do you do your pulled turkey differently? I am thinking ~250 for ~8 hours. Breasts down per your recommendation...EggMcMcc
