Dark meat on the chicken does well on a smoker. Very juicy and tender. If you're getting dry chicken breast though try wet brining the breast. I did this recently on a whole chicken and everything came out super juicy! Merry Christmas to you also!

My issue with pellet smokers is the lack of smoke flavor, ive bought multiple brands and found I have to use a smoker tube to help out. I understand the pellets combust really clean vs wood but when i got my XL i was a little disappointed, it does make up for it with the set it and forget it mentally. If I want good smoke flavor I find myself turning to my vertical propane smoker. The color, smoke ring etc are all there and it smells amazing when cooking but I wish the smoke flavor had a little more punch to it

@Nicks-BBQ 7 ай бұрын

Yeah I agree. It's more of a trade off for convenience. I smoke things overnight like brisket and pork butt but for quicker cooks like chicken and stuff it's probably better to use an offset or your vertical

@mikeLssd Жыл бұрын

Thanks for the recipe. You nailed it with the time and temperatures. Any advice on how to get the skin extra crispy though? Thanks!

@Nicks-BBQ Жыл бұрын

You could put it under a broiler for 5 minutes when it almost done cooking or whatever rub you use baking powder in your rub. It helps the skin get crispy. Also, the drier your chicken is at the time of going on the crisper it will get. So letting it air chill after being dried for a few hours doesn't hurt.

@mikeLssd Жыл бұрын

@sourdoughhome2571 Жыл бұрын

It helps to run a finger between the skin and thigh to partially free the skin. you can even add some more seasoning between skin and thigh.

@damianjean-pierre6660 Жыл бұрын

You’re incorrect about chicken having a hard time taking in smoke. It’s actually one of the only meat that doesn’t need a lot of wood, it’s like a sponge when it comes to taking in smoke

@Nicks-BBQ Жыл бұрын

Thanks for clarification. I don't use real wood. I use pellets. I have noticed chicken has much less smoke flavor on a pellet grill than things like ribs brisket pork butts etc due to the time in smoke. Which is why I like to start at the lower temp to let it have more time in smoke.

@makanahapakuka3485 2 жыл бұрын

Aloha Nick. Did the chicken breast recipe and it came out super juicy! Thank you. Question. I'm currently rounding the 1 hour at the 180 degree mark. It takes a while to get the temp up to 350. Should I cut the first hour short to get it to 350 sooner?

@Nicks-BBQ 2 жыл бұрын

It depends on your preference. If you want a deeper smoke flavor the longer it's on the smoker the better. If you want crispier skin and a quicker finish then crank it up higher sooner.

@makanahapakuka3485 2 жыл бұрын

Lol yeah I jacked it up alrite. Walked out and saw clouds of smoke. Able to salvage the chicken, but gotta tweak it a bit next time. I'll be back for more recipes my friend. Thank you for your video's!

@Nicks-BBQ 2 жыл бұрын

Honestly Pit Boss is a lower quality smoker for sure you get what you pay for. That would happen to me sometimes. I recommend cranking it up slowly. Raise it up to 225. then 250. then 300. then 350. Sometimes you'll get lucky and It won't happen but if you bring it up like that it shouldn't smoke on you like that. I think what happens is when you raise it up so much like that it just dumps a bunch of pellets out at once and overwhelms the fire.

@toddramey9467 Жыл бұрын

When you start the 350 cook step how long is this step? 1 hr 2 hr?

@Nicks-BBQ Жыл бұрын

Each time you do this it will vary. I would suggest using a probe to monitor temp. It will usually be over that hour mark

@@Nicks-BBQ your smoked Mac n' Cheese is bangin! It's a new big hit at my house. Thank you! I tried the smoked corn on the cob, it's was also amazing. Covered in olive oil, smoked at 400°, turning every 10 to 15 minutes, brushing on melted butter and salt, pepper, garlic powder until the kernels started to wrinkle and color. You should definitely try it if you haven't already.
