Tips:

To achieve a more intense smoky flavor, consider using a smoker box filled with wood chips of your choice (hickory, apple, mesquite, etc.) placed directly on the heat source of your grill or smoker.
If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes before using.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken breasts reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
Feel free to adjust the herbs and spices in the marinade to suit your taste preferences. Some popular additions include paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, or dried oregano.
Allow the chicken breasts to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight, for maximum flavor absorption.
Alternatively, you can grill the chicken breasts over medium-high heat for 8-10 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
Serve the smoked buttermilk herb chicken breasts immediately with your favorite sides such as grilled vegetables, roasted potatoes, or a refreshing salad.
