This recipe was made with chicken breast on our Green Mountain Smoker, but any other chicken part could be used and you can adapt it for a different cooking method as desired. The flavor is a perfect blend of sweet and spicy. The smoker allows the chicken to cook slow and become extra tender. We paired this dish with corn on the cob and asparagus. Enjoy!
