Smoked Chicken one of my Kosher Gluten Free Recipes

A few months ago, a friend asked if it was possible to smoke chicken breasts since he had been to our house, where I served smoked turkey. I said it was, but I had never done it.

After some trial and error, I reached the point where I am comfortable sharing it with everyone.

I have used the same recipe for both chicken breasts as well as pargit (boneless chicken thighs)

I hope you enjoy my version of Smoked Chicken, one of my Kosher Gluten Free Recipes.

Prep Time 10

Cook Time 30

Servings 4 servings

Equipment

1 pellet smoker
1 stainless steel or aluminum pan
1 food safe scissors

Ingredients

1 kilo chicken breast or pargit (boneless chicken thighs)
to taste my Gluten Free Beef Rub / Beef Seasoning / All Purpose Rub
apple juice

Instructions

Turn on the pellet smoker to 225℉ or 108℃ and let it pre heat
While heating, trim excess fat, grizzle, or anything else the butcher did not clean off of the chicken.
Place the chicken in the pan
Sprinkle both sides of the chicken with the seasoning rub
Pour apple juice to cover about a 1/4 of the chicken
Place in the smoker until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165℉ or 74℃.
Please note that the smoking process takes about 90 minutes. However, be sure to check the thermometer, as the thickness of the chicken will affect the cooking time. Generally, chicken breasts are thicker and will take a little longer to reach the desired temperature.
