Steps

3-4 hours

1

Brine chicken breasts. Can’t stress this enough. I use 3/4 cup salt and 1/2 cup sugar to 1 gallon of water. I brine for 2-3 hours prior to cooking.
2

Start up smoker and get it to a temperature of 275F. I use hickory or maple wood.
3

In a small bowl, mix together the chipotle powder, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, sugar and black pepper.
4

Rub the spice mixture all over the chicken breasts
5

Place chicken breasts in the smoker
6

Brush with maple syrup every 45 minutes - 1 hour.
7

Remove the chicken from the smoker when it reaches 165F, about 3 hours.
8

Brush one last time with maple syrup.
9

Take some extra syrup and some rub. Mix together in a bowl or squirt bottle for a dipping sauce.

Serve.
