Smoked Chicken Breast
Keto Friendly, Main Entree, Smoked
Ingredients
Brine
2 Quarts Water
1/2 Cup Salt
1/2 Cup Sugar
6 Chicken Breasts
1/4 Cup Soy Sauce
2 Tbsp Lemon Juice
1 Tbsp Olive Oil
Rub
2 Tbsp Garlic Powder
2 Tbsp Onion Powder
1 Tbsp Black Pepper
2 Tbsp Parsley
1 Tbsp Paprika
Sauce
Use any BBQ sauce or:
1/2 Cup Melted Butter
1 Cup Brown Sugar
1/4 Tsp of the above rub
Directions
Add water, salt, sugar, soy sauce, lemon juice and olive oil to bowl. Mix thoroughly to dissolve sugar and salt. Add chicken, making sure all pieces are fully covered by the brine. Place in refrigerator until ready to smoke. At least an hour, overnight is better.
When ready to smoke, preheat smoker to 250 degrees.
Remove chicken from the brine, pat each piece dry then apply the rub to all sides and rub into chicken.
Smoke chicken directly on the grates.
Begin basting after 45 minutes, and allow a few minutes for the sauce to absorb into the chicken then flip, and baste the other side.
Pull chicken when IT is 165, about an hour.
