SMOKED BBQ CHICKEN BREASTS
2-4 bone-in chicken breasts
Barlow BBQ Chicken Rub
Barlow BBQ Chicken Sauce
Olive Oil

Start by cutting each chicken breast in half and remove the skin. Feel free to trim up how you like. Brush each breast with olive oil and dredge in the Barlow BBQ Chicken Rub to get a heavy coating. Once all the breasts have been coated in rub, set aside in the fridge until time to cook.

Set up your charcoal grill for indirect cooking. We want to get the grill going nice and hot, so light a charcoal chimney full of charcoal, and when lit, add to one side of the grill (you can use Weber charcoal baskets, the Slow ‘N Sear, or just bank charcoal to one side). Add some chunks of your favorite smoking wood, cover and give the grill about 10-15 minutes to heat up.

When the grill is ready, add the chicken breasts to the side opposite of the lit charcoal. Cover and let smoke for about 20 minutes. At the 20-30 minute mark, check the temps of the chicken and brush on some Barlow BBQ Chicken Sauce. Cover and continue to smoke until internal temp of the chicken has reached 165 degrees. Remove and enjoy!
