Pulled Chicken

[Tyler Anthony]

Hi,
I was asked to smoke pulled chicken for Christmas Eve. I was just curious what people would say is the best way to do it. Would it be better to smoke a couple whole chickens or a just do breasts or thighs? What is the best way to keep them moist? best way to keep it warm (I will be smoking them at my house and then driving over to my aunts)?

My plan was to get a package of breast and thighs and smoke them uncovered for a while and then put them in a tin covered to finish them. I was thinking I would put them in a crock pot to keep it warm.

Sounds like you got a plan.

I would think about brining them also.

Whole birds . Get some Tony C's injectable marinade . Pump them with as much as it will hold , and in the fridge overnight . Smoke with the skin on until the internal temp is 165 in the breast . When cool enough to handle , toss the skin and shred the meat . Mix the white and the dark together .

I use the veg stock cure injection to do mine . That's a bit involved for late notice , but the Tony's will give great results .
