Step 1
Make the rub. Combine the seasonings and store it in a mason jar. You’ll use 3-4 tablespoons of the rub for this recipe.
Step 2
Pat dry the chicken. Remove chicken from the package and use paper towel to pat it dry on all sides.
Step 3
Add the rub. Add a generous amount of barbecue rub to the outsides of the chicken breasts (on both sides), using your hands to press it on.
Step 4
Light smoker/grill. Light a smoker or grill to 225 degrees. Add flavored pellets or wood chips.
Step 5
Place chicken on to cook. When ready, place the chicken on the grates to cook. This will take approximately one hour (or slightly more), depending on the thickness of the breasts. When the temp reaches about 160 degrees F, remove the chicken and count on another few degrees of carry-over cooking.
Step 6
Rest. Let the chicken rest for about 15 minutes before serving. This will ensure that the juices stay INSIDE the chicken resulting in tender, juicy chicken.
Step 7
(Optional step) Serve chicken with a drizzle of olive oil over the top.
