I’ve smoked more chicken breasts than I can count, and after plenty of trial and error, I’ve nailed down a ridiculously simple method. Once you know the tricks, it’s foolproof, and it doesn’t take a couple of hours.
This is hands down my favorite way to smoke chicken breasts—they soak up a ton of smoky flavor without drying out. No fancy gear or complicated ingredients are needed—just chicken, butter, a solid rub, and a little patience.
The butcher paper technique is my not-so-secret weapon that transforms what could be ordinary chicken into something your family will actually get excited about on a random Tuesday night. Trust me, this is the chicken recipe you’ll end up making at least twice a month!
