Step 1

Preheat the smoker to 225°F.

Step 2

Use paper towels to pat the chicken dry.

Step 3

Apply oil evenly over the entire chicken breast.

Step 4

Apply the dry rub over the chicken breast and ensure it covers all parts; top, bottom, and sides.

Step 5

Once the smoker comes up to temperature, place the chicken breasts directly on the preheated grill.

Step 6

Close the lid and smoke until the internal temperature of the chicken breast, measured in the thickest part of the meat, is 165 degrees F. This will take about 1 hour.

Step 7

If you like BBQ sauce, apply your favorite sauce for the last few minutes of cooking time.

Step 8

Remove the smoked chicken breasts from the grill and place them on a serving tray. Cover with aluminum foil and rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to reincorporate into the meat.

Step 9

Serve with your favorite side dishes and enjoy!
