That way I can butterfly them! Made a mixture of sautéed mushrooms, spinach, yellow onion and garlic. Butterflied the big breasts, spread some four Italian shredded cheese inside and then layered in the veggie mix. Folded over and wrapped with two slices of uncured bacon. Hung some mini bell peppers on the toothpicks for color and flavor. Used some low salt rub since I brined the breasts for a couple of hours. Onto the WSM over some cherry running at 235 until they hit 165. More pix later.

I know, an abundance of caution, but it’s perfectly safe to pull before 165* and will be a lot juicier. Just a couple minutes at 155* is fine.

Yep, I sous vide to 145 and it's juicy and done but I've never tried backing the temp off when smoking. May have to do an experiment next time.

FWIW, brined dark meat chicken does not dry out at all on the smoker. White meat does not dry out as bad as when you don't brine. I'm a recent convert and will not go back to unbrined birds.
