Possible to smoke boneless skinless chicken breast?

TEXASBGE2018 · February 2020

Wondering if any of you have tried smoking boneless skinless chicken breast without them getting dry. I have a pack of chicken breast and I don’t want to just grill them like always.

Give them a bacon skin.

I haven't tried it, but if I did I would probably baste them with something every ~10 minutes.

I often have partially frozen chicken breasts to cook and do them indirect for a while or just away from the hot coals on the XL with some smoke. The cold starting temp buys you some time to get the smokey taste, then finish direct.

Go ahead and smoke them. Try raised indirect at 350-400. The key to keep it moist is to bull at 150-155* I do this temperature all the time, and the chicken breast always comes out juicy.

This is a question for @BBQ_Gator!

Sorry in advance. Only if you can keep them lit....

The bacon skin sounds like a great plan, otherwise...

I smoke them then finish them using Malcom Reed's Monterey Chicken recipe. Very easy, tasty dish.

I have a few times, brining first highly recommended.

Agree with the brining plan, or inject 'em...

Or do both and then wrap 'em in bacon.

I have followed this recipe a few times with chicken parts, I am sure it would work with breasts, just monitor the internal temp....
