Maple Smoked Chicken Breasts image

I brined the Chicken in a Maple seasoned brine. I rubbed the chicken with a Maple seasoning, I basted it with a Honey Maple BBQ Sauce while smoking it with Maple Wood Chunks. Can you say MAPLE anyone!!

Categories     Chicken

Time 2h30m

Number Of Ingredients 5

8 boneless skinless chicken breasts
8 c water
2 Tbsp coarse sea salt
6 Tbsp mccormicks smokehouse maple seasoning
honey maple bbq sauce-see link below

Steps:

  • 1. These chicken breasts were quite large so I only put 4 in each gallon ziploc bag. To each bag I added 3 tbs of Maple seasoning and 1 tbs of sea salt and 4 c of water (or enough to cover chicken completely). I let it brine overnight in the fridge.
  • 2. The morning of smoking, I drained the water and patted the chicken down with a paper towel. Then I mixed equal parts Maple seasoning to olive oil, mixed it together and rubbed the chicken on both sides. (4 tbs Maple seasoning, 4 tbs olive oil).
  • 3. Then I prepared my smoker with charcoal and Maple wood chunks I had soaked overnight. I basted the chicken as it smoked with my Honey Maple BBQ sauce.

The chicken was a bit dry for my taste, but the flavor was on point. I'll try increasing the cooking time next time.

I substituted honey for maple syrup and it turned out great! The chicken was succulent and the sauce was finger-licking good.

I'm not a fan of chicken but this recipe changed my mind. The maple and smoke flavors were out of this world. Will definitely make this again.

I made this recipe for my family and they loved it! The chicken was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The maple syrup gave it a nice glaze.

This dish was a hit at my dinner party. The chicken was cooked evenly and the maple glaze added a delicious sweetness. Will definitely make this again.
