How to Grill Chicken Breasts on a Pellet Grill

Chicken breasts are the most commonly grilled cut of poultry, thanks to their dense white meat. They’re easy to keep moist and are commonly sold skin-on and skin-off. Grilling a chicken breast on a pellet grill will yield a juicy, smoked cut of meat.

Where to Place Chicken in The Smoker?

You should keep the meat away from the open flame and instead cook them using indirect heat.

If you cook the chicken legs at high heat for an extended amount of time, they will develop an undesirable leathery texture.

You can also just place the chicken pieces over direct heat at the very end of the cook so that it develops those nice grill lines.

However, you should make sure that your smoker grill’s lid is left open for this process.
