Smoked Chicken Breast

 

Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts fillet removed
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 2 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp madras curry powder
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• 1 Tbsp dark brown sugar

  Instructions

  • Mix the seasoning together in a small bowl.
  • If your butcher did not remove the fillet from the breast, do that now.
  • Then place the chicken breasts into a large resealable bag. Dump the seasoning blend into the bag and then seal, pressing the extra air out of the bag. Massage the chicken breasts to coat with the seasoning.
  • Place chicken in the fridge for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the chicken to absorb the seasoning. Massage at least a few times while it sits to help make sure the chicken is fully coated.
  • When you are ready to cook, preheat your smoker to 250 degrees.
  • Place the chicken directly on the rack and close the smoker.
  • Cook for approximately 1 hour and 15 min and then check for doneness using a meat thermometer.
  • When the chicken is between 160-165 degrees remove from the smoker.
  • Cove the chicken with foil and let it sit for 10 minutes before serving.
