You're right!! Chicken is very underrated. I love smoking chicken, and it's CHEAP!! Everyone, please continue not buying it so it stays cheap. 😂 It looked great Darrin! I'm definitely trying your salt brine and seasoning ingredients next time. Thank you!!

[@JimNapaCA]

Wow! Your my new favorite bbq/pellet cook! Simply and easy! Cheers Mate!

[@Kyle_Schroeder]

Excellent as always!

[@JeffreyBethards]

Thanks brother! Gonna try that this weekend! Love how you keep the vids short and to the point. Great work!

[@theseahawksfan16]

This looks incredible. Great cook

[@jandasalovich6469]

Fantastic. Going to try this weekend. Love the ease of this. Wife bought me a Pit Boss smoker after using charcoal for 24 plus years. The pellet smoker is incredible. Thanks for the content. Very helpful to our family.

[@AshKickinBBQ]

Awesome! Enjoy!

[@shawncaldwell593]

Going to try that this weekend

[@Rick2178]

Looks awesome! It’s funny how you mentioned the smoke rings…my wife thought the meat was undercooked and I had to explain it. I said the temperature met the requirement so no worries!

[@marleneogle9432]

I'll definitely being smoking some chicken this week!! I've never thought of dry brining it!

[@gardeningandgrowing6357]

Great video. I’ve used that dry brine for boneless skinless chicken breast. It came out great.

[@jaybooth4815]

Great recipe for smoked chicken breasts! They definitely turned out delicious looking! Gonna give this one a try! Cheers!

[@rodawg25]

100% agree with the SPG. Allows you to put it in anything. One of the things my fam loves in when I do smoked chicken salad with good ol Dukes mayo! Haha great vid like always man.

[@bobbicatton]

Easy peasy, tasty chicken👍😊

[@emadventures6975]

For the dry brine portion. I have always dry brined steaks, wings and such uncovered in a rack. I noticed here you put it in a container. Have you tried uncovered in a rack overnight?

[@AshKickinBBQ]

I always cover poultry. I don’t like risking contamination.

[@chrisbarber1020]

Would love to see that

[@athruf4931]

Making me hungry before lunch break... my pbj and banna sandwiches just arent gonna do it now

[@scottyd3736]

What pellets did you use/recommend?

[@robertmattingly6856]

What temperature did you cook too?

[@AshKickinBBQ]

Full recipe is in the description

[@jedheatley121]

Darrin, what did you let the chicken get to (internal) on the grill? You pulling at 145 or taking it up to 165?

[@AshKickinBBQ]

Recipe is in the description Jed, I usually pull from 158-160°. 145 is not advisable

[@mikeprichard7933]

Did I miss something? You never talked about the temp you cooked it to and the difference between white meat and dark meat. I already get it but some people may not

[@AshKickinBBQ]

Because the finished temp is subjective to people. Read the recipe in the description, I covered it. I’m not going to talk about the difference in white and dark meat in a chicken breast video.

[@erichott4671]

It’s okay to cook it on the top rack instead of bottom rack?

[@AshKickinBBQ]

Why wouldn’t it be?

[@erichott4671]

@@AshKickinBBQ wasn’t sure kinda new to the smoking, thought heat would be different..

[@AshKickinBBQ]

@@erichott4671 it very well could be on your smoker, mine surely is different. You’ll just have to learn your smoker and see what works best for you. However, I like to utilize all of my cookers space.

[@erichott4671]

@@AshKickinBBQ gotcha makes sense, much appreciated and keep the videos a coming!!! Good stuff!!!

[@skatterbug]

Do you remove the tenderloin from the breast or leave it on? It kind of looked like it was removed?

[@AshKickinBBQ]

It was on

[@justindaniels1148]

Where can I get those containers you used to dry brine the chicken?

[@rodawg25]

Was wondering the same

[@AshKickinBBQ]

Cambro makes them

[@ryanpepper9666]

i wish my wife talked about me how you talk about this chicken

[@AshKickinBBQ]

LOL

[@charlieking3302]

He said smoke ring! 😆 🤣 Looks great but yeah it's not there!

[@AshKickinBBQ]

Yes it is, you just can see it on camera 🙄
