This recipe requires patience and temperature control, but the results are worth the wait. The key is maintaining consistent heat and allowing the chicken to reach the proper internal temperature for easy shredding.
For best results, use a reliable meat thermometer and don't rush the smoking process. The chicken is done when it shreds easily with a fork.
