Whatt wood?
I'm going to try to smoke (weather permitting) some boneless, skinless chicken breasts. I have about 8 that I stuck in a brine for about 24 hours(I know this is excessive for the cut, but I am still experimenting).
My question to you is, in the brine I threw in some cored, sliced apples. Should I smoke with chunks of apple wood? Or I have pecan, cherry, and mesquite(all chunk). I will gladly take advice. I am here to learn. |

Go as light as you can with the smoke, preferably a fruit wood. And not much of it, as poultry absorbs smoke super easy.

I like to use cherry on chicken. I would not use the mesquite.

^+1 more on the cherry
^+1 on lightly Cherry will work well and give the chicken a nice mahogany color.
