3.
Sprinkle Barbecue Sweet Rub over the chicken breast evenly on all sides. Place on a plate or pan, cover, and refrigerate for 10 minutes.
4.
Fire up your pellet grill and preheat the smoker to 225 degrees F (108 degrees C) using your favorite hardwood pellets.
5.
Place seasoned chicken directly on smoker grill and smoke for approximately 1 hour, or until the internal temperature of the thickest part of the chicken reaches 160 degrees F (71 degrees C).
6.
Remove chicken from the smoker and place on a clean plate or pan; immediately cover loosely with foil. Allow to rest for 5-10 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches a food-safe 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
7.
Serve sliced, shredded, or whole – and get ready to enjoy the best chicken of your life!!
