Ingredients

  • 2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp paprika
  • 2 tsp celery salt
  • 1 tsp ancho chile
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest (from 1 lemon)
  • 8 boneless skinless chicken breast

Instructions

  • Combine everything but the chicken in a bowl and whisk together to form the wet rub
  • Then slather the wet rub all over the boneless skinless chicken breasts, coating entirely
  • Fire up the grill for indirect/two zone grilling: coals and smoke wood on one side and nothing on the other
  • Target temp is between 275-325 degrees
  • Place the chicken on the side with no heat with the thick side of the chicken breasts closest to the fire and the points away from the heat.
  • Close the lid
  • Smoke until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees (about 50 minutes)
  • Remove from the heat, allow to rest for three minutes to let the juices cam down and redistribute throughout the meat, and serve
