    Slim, I have always cooked my chicken breasts (bone in) at 350 for about 30-45 minutes. I use my polder to check the internal temp to make sure it's about 170-180. I use pecan for smoking since it's plentiful in my back yard and it's good on poultry.

    Slim,
    Wise One's technique will be perfect. Even higher cooking temps okay. Personally, I prefer to pull them off at 165, and I always check the internal temp of those lean meats that have a small window before they start drying.[p]Have fun, and please share your killer recipe if it works out! It will.
    beers and such

    Wise One,
    Do you cook your chicken with the skin on or off????? I usually buy boneless/skinless breast but have bone in/skin on in my frig. for tonight or tomorrow.
    Thanks,
    New Bob
    Have a geat weekend

    New Bob, actually both ways. I like skin on personally but I know it's not supposed to be really good for you. My wife tends to remove the skin after the cook. I think the skin keeps the meat moister but it could be just that the outside dries out with no skin.
