Smoked chicken is just amazing. Every time. First time I dry brined and spatchcocked and I'm really impressed.

I was extremely surprised how deep the salt flavor went with just dry brining. I used no salt on my outer seasoning and all the meat had just the right amount of salt all the way through (even the breasts).

So dang good!

    We’ve been smoking lots of bone in skin on thighs lately. Hard to beat $1.29 a lb and they come out nice and juicy.

    Love me some chicken. You have to work on your skin game a little though. Or maybe I just char my chicken more 🤣

  4. Chicken is king in my home. Price aside, bone in skin on thighs love a good smoke session.

    I smoked a few chickens with hickory and brought some in to work to eat for lunch. Everyone thought I was cooking bacon with how it smelled.

    I think it does chicken is great. It’s not as good as beef or pork, but it’s excellent.

    Nah, smoked chicken is one of my absolute favorites. Wal-Mart and HEB have a 10lb bag of chicken quarters for $5, I have 3 of those bags in my freezer. I need to thaw them to smoke them.

    If you haven’t tried the white sauce with a smoked chicken, you’re missing out.
