- Place the chicken on the smoker and let them smoke for 1 hour.
- While the chicken cooks, mix the apple cider vinegar and bbq sauce. Create a sauce mixture with very thin consistency for easy glazing.1 Cup BBQ Sauce, ⅓ Cup Apple Cider Vinegar
- Once you reach the first hour of smoking, bump the smoker's temp up to 300 degrees. Let the chicken smoke for another hour, or until every piece's internal temperature hits 185 degrees.
- Once the chicken has finished 2 hours of smoking, dunk them in the glaze, ensuring every piece is covered entirely by the sauce. After glazing, place the chicken slices back on the smoker for another half hour, or until the glaze is nice and tacky.
- Remove the chicken pieces from the smoker. Let them rest for about ten minutes and enjoy!
Notes
To guarantee that the chicken will come out so smoky and tasty, using pecan wood for smoking is recommended. If you can’t find pecan wood, your next best options are applewood or hickory.
