Smoked Chicken. My favorite

[h2so4ca]

Sunday I did a quick smoked chicken on my weber 22" 

I set it up for indirect heat. I had it running at 315 deg for the entire smoke time of 2 hours.

I smoked it over lump charcoal and apple wood chunks. I took it to an internal temp of 165 in the breast

and 170 in the thigh

The finished product. The skin was nice and crispy.

Then I served it with roasted broccoli and hash browns.

It was fantastic. 

The next day I took the left overs and made smoked chicken salad to make sandwiches for the week.

Of all the smokes, a plain old nekkid chicken is hard to beat.

Great job!

Quick update: I still had some of the smoked chicken leftover from making the chicken salad for lunches.

So I took the 1-1/2 cups of leftover chicken and made a Smoked Chicken Pizza.

Just gonna smoke some chix this weekend on my WSM, just wondering if you brined first or not?

If not, did you notice any dryness or did she come out fine?

Many thanks
