Preheat your smoker to 110°C. Add about an inch of flavored liquid to the water bowl. Now lightly oil the rack. When the smoker reaches 110°C, put the chicken in it and lay it flat on the rack. Cook for about 3 hours or until internal juices run clear. Preparing poultry in a Masterbuilt Smoker is a straightforward process.
Preheat smoker to 225°F. Smoke chicken directly on rack for 4-6 hours or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (the total cooking time will depend on the cut of the meat - i.e. how thick or thin). Baste chicken with BBQ sauce during the last hour of cook time. Serve with remaining sauce.
You can store the Masterbuilt smoked chicken recipe in the refrigerator for up to a week. If you plan on freezing it, you will need to wrap the raw ingredients in aluminium foil and place them in a freezer bag before putting them in the freezer. Serve with your favourite side dish.
If smoking boneless, skinless thighs and breasts, I recommend brining or marinating the meat overnight to add moisture. Remember to rinse your bird or portions in cool running water and pat thoroughly dry with paper towels before preparing for the smoker. And, clean your sink well to prevent any cross-contamination with other foods.
