Chicken breasts

Unknown
edited November -0001 in EggHead Forum
I would appreciate some help. I have 5 lb. of chicken breasts to cook tomorrow on my large BGE, and the search function isn't working (at least on my computer). I'm looking for general directions to smoke them fairly basic (with a rub), and maybe indirect. Any help will be greatly appreciated! The recipe section for poultry didn't seem to address this,
thanks, Mike

    here you go:::


    Chicken, Breasts, Lemon-Pepper Smoked


    ***MARINADE***
    1 cup Wishbone Italian dressing
    ***RUB***
    8 Tbs lemon pepper (the fake kind Tones brand)
    2 Tbs Willingham's W'ham regular seasoning
    ***MOP***
    1 cup apple juice
    1 cup vegetable oil
    2 Tbs lemon pepper



    Procedure:
    1 Brine the chicken breasts (use recipe for Dan Gill's poultry brine) for 30-60 minutes (longer will make the meat mushy). Remove breasts from brine and rinse in cold running water.
    2 Pat dry on paper towels. Marinate breasts in the Italian dressing for 2 hours.
    3 Generously sprinkle on rub on both sides of breasts and under skin if possible.
    4 Smoke chicken breasts 240-250F with strong to medium flavor wood. Mop every 30 minutes on both sides. Remove from smoker when internal temperature in thickest part of breast reaches 155F.

    Those beg to be marinated in Robust Italian Dressing/Honey/ cayenne pepper for an easy cook. Indirect at 350. No smoke.

    Wichita,

    I love to wrap chicken breasts in thick bacon, then dust with a rub like DP's Shakin' the Tree. Grill them indirect at 325-350* for about 45 minutes to 160* internal and you'll get this:
