This is my first attempt at making chicken with my smokin tex 1400. I've done it before with a propane smoker. I believe it came out better for several reasons. With the propane smoker i had to keep track of the water pan. With the smokin tex i put the chicken in the smoker and took the chicken out when its ready. If you look at photos i posted you can see how golden brown my chicken got, i never got this with a propane smoker. It just shows how even the smoker cooks the meat. The last photo shows how moist the meat is.
I brine my chicken for 24 hrs in 1 gallon of water with 1 cup of sugar and 1 cup of salt. I rinse and pat dry the chicken and i put it in the smoker for about 4 1/2 hours when the internal temp of the chicken reached 168. I wanted 170 but i couldn't wait. And thats basically it, enjoy.
