I took the day off work yesterday (sanity break) and decided to use the time to try smoking something other than cheese. I brined the chicken with a bit of dijon and bourbon - though I have subsequently been informed that there is no point in adding flavours to the brine since they do not transfer to the meat, so in future I will just stick to salt water.

While it was brining I assembled a needlessly complicated rub for which I found the recipe on the web. Finally I put it in the smoker at ~225F for about 3 hours and this is the result.

I took part of yesterday off to smoke something other than cheese too.

Did it taste as wonderful as it looks?

I definitely could have gone for smoking more than chicken yesterday...

It did! We were very pleased with how it turned out. The rub was a bit spicier than I had anticipated, but not so much as to ruin things.
