Steps:
- First, pour two quarts of cold water in a bowl or large container.
- Then, add half a cup of table salt and half a cup of white sugar.
- Then, pour a bit of olive oil into the liquid.
- Mix well using a large spoon.
- Make sure that both the sugar and the salt dissolve completely in the water.
- Additionally, you may add a quarter of a cup of soy sauce and a bit of lemon juice.
- Now, you have your brine mixture ready. Set it aside.
- Next, take your boneless chicken breasts and put them into the large bowl or container with the brine.
- Make sure that all the pieces are fully covered by the liquid.
- Then, without covering it, place the container in a place where it won't be disturbed.
- If you can, leave the chicken brining overnight so it can absorb as much flavor and moisture as possible.
- If you don't have the time, however, you can brine the chicken breasts for as little as 30 minutes.
- While your chicken is brining, make the rub that will be used later.
- In a small bowl, place the paprika, chili powder, thyme, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, kosher salt and black pepper.
- Then, simply mix the ingredients with a fork until the rub is homogeneous and consistent.
- That quickly, your rub is ready to be used.
- At this point, you are ready to apply the rub to the boneless chicken breasts.
- Take the chicken pieces out of the brine and dry them individually with paper towels.
- Try to remove as much moisture as possible in order for the rub to stick to the chicken properly.
- Put the chicken pieces on a baking sheet and use a spoon to cover it with the rub.
- Then, using your hands, rub the spices into the meat.
- Rub thoroughly and vigorously until all the pieces are completely covered in the rub.
- At this point, your chicken breasts are ready to be smoked.
- If the grill isn't ready yet, however, put them back in the refrigerator until it is.
- It's important to know that, in order for this smoked chicken breast to recipe properly, the Traeger grill needs to be properly readied.
- That means that you should fire your grill up at least half an hour before putting the chicken in it.
- Before getting it going, though, make sure that your Traeger is perfectly clean.
- To properly smoke boneless chicken breasts, you need to get your Traeger grill to 250°F.
- Use your thermometer to make sure this is the case.
- Once you reach the temperature and you see that it's stable, put the chicken pieces in the grill.
- Close the lid and leave everything be for 45 minutes. It's important not to lift the lid during this time.
- After 45 minutes of grilling, check the interior temperature of your Traeger grill.
- Ideally, it should be at least 165°F. If it isn't, make sure to elevate it to around 200°F.
- After that, close the lid again and let the chicken grill for an additional 15 minutes.
- After that time has elapsed, you are ready to take the chicken pieces out of the grill.
- Don't be too quick to slice the pieces open, though, as this will cause the internal juices to escape and the meat to dry.
- Instead, wait for a good five to ten minutes.

SMOKED CHICKEN TENDERS
This recipe takes tender chicken and adds tons of flavor. It is great with any starch, and it doesn't take much to put a mexican spin on it and eat it in tacos or with rice and beans. We always make extra and use it for wraps and on salads for weekday lunches!

Steps:

BRINED AND SMOKED CHICKEN THIGHS
Very juicy, tender, and flavorful smoked chicken thighs. My skins got mostly crispy in the smoker. The smoke intensity is mild and the applewood flavor comes through nicely.

Steps:
- Whisk together water, brown sugar, 1 cup kosher salt, black peppercorns, garlic cloves, and bay leaves in a large saucepan until sugar and salt dissolve. Turn heat to medium-high and bring to a boil.
- Carefully pour brine mixture into a large heat-proof container and stir in rosemary sprigs and lemon slices. Place in the refrigerator until completely chilled, about 2 hours.
- Add chicken thighs to the chilled brine. Place a small plate on top of chicken thighs to ensure they stay submerged, then cover container with a lid or plastic wrap. Refrigerate chicken thighs in brine for at least 6 hours, or up to 24 hours.
- Open the bottom vent of a grill completely. Light a charcoal chimney starter filled with briquettes. When briquettes are covered with gray ash, pour them onto bottom grate of the grill, and then push to 1 side of the grill. Place 3 to 4 applewood chunks on top of hot coals. Coat top grate with oil; place on grill. Cover and insert an instant-read thermometer into a vent in the lid; maintain a temperature between 225 and 250 degrees F (107 and 120 degrees C) for 15 to 20 minutes.
- Remove chicken thighs from brine and pat dry with paper towels, removing as much moisture on the surface of the thighs as possible. Sprinkle evenly with black pepper and remaining 1 teaspoon salt.
- Place chicken thighs on the preheated grill, skin-side up, over the side without coals. Cover and smoke until a thermometer inserted in thickest portion registers 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), about 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours.
- Transfer chicken thighs to a large plate or platter and let rest for 10 minutes before serving.

- I had a quick volunteer dinner for my AIDS buddies (we have a pot luck dinner each month), so I decided on Smoked Chicken Tenders. While not true BBQ in the Porch fashion, I found this quick recipe pretty good, and thought for a change (HA) I'd post something on topic (insert applause here)
- Create and use an unzipped opening (3-4 inches is fine, point is do not expose or possibly open the entire bag, just some of one corner which can be re zipped.) Salt water Rinse the inside of the bag, with frzn pcs inside, to check for leaks in the bag. If bag leaks, remove chicken and put in a large sealable baggie. Fresh water rinse and let drain. Pour the red wine dressing into the bag. (The point is to mix everything in a bag, ok) Pour marinade in bag, seal and shake, coating chicken with liquid. Repeat for Worchestershire sauce.
- Let sit for 20 min. Sprinkle lightly with Cavender's (or possibly your favorite bird dust). Smoke @ 240 F for about an hour, using cherry and hickory.
