Reply to "Smoked Chicken Breast - first time"

padrefan98Member

I brined the breast 8 hours as an experiment one morning. I too read that breasts take an hour while whole chickens took 8 hours. Made no sense to me. My experiment produced the juiciest breast with a better smokiness then it's 1 hour counterpart. This is just a taste profile preference for me. Give it a shot.

I use the simple brine in Brining 101. I also add whatever dried herbs I am in the mood for. Like oregano, rosemary, thyme.
