Pit Boss Smoked Chicken Breasts
Savor tender and juicy smoked chicken breasts cooked to perfection with this simple recipe!
Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts
- 2 tbsp salt
- ½ tbsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp homemade BBQ rub (can be substituted with your favorite BBQ rub)
- ⅛ cup Blues Hog Original BBQ Sauce (can be substituted with your favorite BBQ sauce)
- ⅛ cup Blues Hog Tennessee Red BBQ Sauce (can be substituted with your favorite BBQ sauce)
Homemade BBQ Rub
- 1 tbsp dark brown sugar
- 1 tbsp paprika
- ½ tbsp salt
- ½ tbsp garlic powder
- ¼ tbsp black pepper
- ¼ tbsp chili powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
Instructions
- Set up a wire rack over a baking sheet and place chicken on rack. Sprinkle salt and pepper evenly over the chicken breasts, both top and bottom. Let it sit in the refrigerator overnight or for at least 4 hours.
- Mix together the ingredients for the homemade BBQ rub if using, or prepare your favorite BBQ rub. Wipe off any excess salt from the chicken, then season generously with BBQ rub.
- Add your pellets to the hopper and start the Pit Boss smoker with the "Smoke" setting. Let it fire up until we get a blueish smoke so that we know the pellets are burning cleanly. Set the temperature to 350°F for preheating. Once it reaches 350°F, drop it to 300°F and clean the grill grates, then close the lid.
- Mix the 2 BBQ sauces together and set aside. We will use this to baste the chicken later.
- Add the chicken breasts to the smoker. Cook until the meat reaches an internal temperature of 155ºF, while rotating occasionally. It will take around 45 minutes. Baste the chicken with the mixed BBQ sauce and close the lid to let it cook further until the meat's internal temperature of 165ºF is reached.
- Remove chicken breasts to serving plates and let them rest for 5 minutes before cutting. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce and sides. Enjoy!
