Bone in, skin on breasts with Q-view

[smokin4fun]

After reading how breast notoriously dry out, I decided to try it anyway.  I was pleased with the results, as was my company.  I did two batches.  The first batch, I used a brine recipe I found on this site. Brined for 4 and a half hours, then applied a rub.  The second batch, I injected with butter, onion powder, garlic powder, and Chachere's, then applied Chachere's as a rub.  I smoked at 275 until I hit IT of 160.  The pics I took are of the brined batch. Everyone loved both batches, and honestly, I could not tell a difference at all in moisture between the two. Both were tremendously juicy and I even had two people tell me they have never had chicken that juicy.  The pics make it look like they are charred, but they werent. I guess my lack of photography skills shows.  Anyways, hope you enjoy, and thanks for all the advice I get on this site.

Brined and rubbed ready to go.

The pic does not do the juiciness justice.
