- Smoke the chicken at a low temperature: Smoking the chicken at a low temperature (around 225°F) for a longer period of time (6-8 hours) produces the best results.
- Use different types of wood chips: Experiment with different types of wood chips, such as hickory, apple, or cherry, to achieve different flavor profiles.
