Going to try a different process tomorrow, i usually smoke chicken on higher heats with no water in the pan, but i found the results to be a little leathery lately.

I want to hit them with about 30 - 45 mins of high heat to crisp up the skin but not sure if i should start with the heat phase first, then go slow and low ....or vice versa.

Vice versa. Smoke absorbs at lower temps. Start low, then blast with high heat to crisp up the skin.

Next time brine them before smoking, you'll thank me later.

I was actually about to make a thread about this.

I have been cooking some pork butt for about 14 hours and my sister asked me to smoke some chicken breast for her.

How do i go about doing this the best way? Egg is at roughly 210 right now and am going to be heading to her place in about 4 hours

1 gallon water
1 cup salt
1 cup sugar

I substitute half the salt for Tony's and half the sugar for brown sugar.

Don't brine the chicken for more than 6 hours or so.

Ive never considered brining a plus when smoking chicken. I just give her a good rub of spices and rest and then smoke vertical for about 3-4 hours with a water pan beneath (sp) It has always been moist and delicious for my crew.
