First off, leave the skin on or they will be super dry.
I prefer to smoke thighs or leg quarters but if you want breasts, do this.
Bring them over night in a gallon of water a cup of salt and a cup of sugar. You can add other spices too if you like.
Rinse them if well.
Smoke at 225-250 for 2.5 to 3 hours. Take them to 165 degrees. No more.
They will have some pink around the breastbone if they are bone in. Smoked chicken often does even though it’s done.
