directions

  • Soak the wood chips in cool water for atleast 30 minutes and then place them in a shallow foil pan.
  • Place the pan in the center of your grill while it is preheating.
  • Meanwhile, in a large bowl mix together the honey, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
  • Add the chicken pieces and toss to evenly coat.
  • Place chicken on grill and cook until no longer pink on the inside, the time may vary depending on how big your chicken was (Chef's note: I normally put the chicken breasts on the grill about 7 minutes before everything else because they take longer to cook).

  1. Easy Meal. Tip; baste often and cook slow creates juicy tender meat. I used boneless breast and added lemon pepper to taste. Try making a alum. foil pocket size of your grill with thin layer of hickory for evenly dispersed smoking.
