Chicken Brats

Former Member

I have made about 15 lbs of chicken brats in natural hog casing. This is only ground chicken breast and no pork fat. I am curious as to the internal temp.

I plan to smoke at 225 with hickory on my sm025

Thank you for any advice in advance.

Are you going to smoke only? If so, take it to 165 minimum. If you're going to boil, broil or grill later you could go lower as long as your final step takes it to at least 165.

I have smoked only at 225 to internal if 167. meat inside is cooked, skin seems a little raw or under cooked. Smoke is perfect of coarse bc its from a cookshack

I tried grilling them. The skin got a little better but not much. Should I grill or boil first and then smoke for flavor?
