Equipment

Ingredients

  • 4 cups warm water
  • ¼ cup salt
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts pound out so all are even thickness
  • ⅓ cup bbq rub I used Meat Church's All Purpose Rub
  • 1 cup bbq sauce I use Sweet Baby Ray's

Instructions

  • In a large bowl or container, combine the warm water with the salt and sugar. Stir until salt and sugar are dissolved.
  • Place the chicken in the brine and make sure it is completely covered. Cover and place in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
  • Remove chicken from the brine and pat dry. Preheat your pellet smoker to 250 degrees. Coat chicken with the bbq rub.
  • Place chicken on the smoker and cook at 250 degrees until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees.
  • Brush chicken with the bbq sauce and continue to smoke for an additional 10 minutes. Remove from the smoker and allow to sit for 5 minutes before serving.  Serves 4-6.
