Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Rinse the chicken breasts under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Season the Chicken

    In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture all over the chicken breasts.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Smoker

    Soak the oak wood chips in water for at least 30 minutes before using. Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C).

  4. 4

    Smoke the Chicken

    Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the smoker and add the soaked oak wood chips. Smoke the chicken for about 3-4 hours, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

  5. 5

    Rest and Shred

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the smoker and let it rest for 10-15 minutes. Then, use two forks to shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.

  6. 6

    Add Vinegar

    Drizzle the pulled chicken with apple cider vinegar and toss to combine. Serve warm.
