    Did I mess up?

    So I smoked some chicken breast on my WSM a few hours ago. I got it up to around 425 because I had the door open on the side before I put the chicken on so it got hot. Ended up smoking chicken around 325 after I closed the door. Shut all vents down while eating because I am smoking a butt...

    Help with bone in chicken breasts

    Thanks for the tips. Do you ever pull the skin back and put seasoning under it before cooking? Also, not sure about the difference in brine. I wonder if there is any difference between briningbin buttermilk versus just salt water? All I know is the breasts were so juicy. Kind of wondering if...

    Help with bone in chicken breasts

    Well ran out of time over the weekend so the chicken was taken out of the brine after about 20 hours. Rubbed it down and stuck it in the fridge uncovered for like a day. Then ended up covering it because another two days went by without any time to cook it. Finally decided I had to cook it...

    Just to add even though this isn't thread related… Went to Costco yesterday and got a bunch of meat for this weekend. Three racks of baby back ribs, a four pack of about 2 inch thick ribeye steaks, and sirloin burgers in addition to these chicken breasts. Meatmorial Day Weekend

    Help with bone in chicken breasts

    WOW!! you guys that posted are totally awesome! What great, thought out, detailed explanations to my questions. And I would second your recommendation on removing some of those spices from the rub. I think that's a great recommendation and just using the basic onion garlic pepper etc.

    So I haven't had real good luck with chicken grilling or smoking not sure what I'm doing wrong or maybe I'm expecting too much. I've had chicken from barbecue restaurants and was really tender and just awesome all around. Can't seem to duplicate that experience so I'm going to try again, I was...

    Wings....brine them or no?

    OK just to post back here to let anyone that was interested know, they turned out awesome. Crispy skin and very very tender and juicy on the inside. I made sure I injected them several times on both sides this time. I don't know if this has anything to do with it or not, but perhaps putting the...

    Wings....brine them or no?

    OK Al thanks for the help. I'm gonna inject a batch and cover with Cajun seasoning. The other a dry rub that is a little sweet. Was going to leave them on raised trays in the refrigerator uncovered overnight to maybe help dry them out some and put them on the smoker tomorrow morning.
