How to smoke chicken
Chicken was not the first thing to be smoked but it is the first thing a lot of people experiment with. And for good reason, it's awesome. The great thing about smoking chicken is it only takes half the time of large cuts of meat like brisket and pork. Less time smoking means more time eating and more time watching people delight in the food you've made.
