I started with a brine
1gal water
1 quart apple juice
1 cup kosher salt
3/4 brown sugar
1tablespoon black peppercorns
1 teaspoon rosemary
1/4 teaspoon ginger
let brine for about 30 hrs
Cooled breasts down with ice for 30 mins before tossing in the ProQ

all rubbed up now ready for butter soaked cheesecloth

wrapped with cheesecloth and filled beer can with apple juice

after about 4 hrs of smoking (240d) I took cheesecloth off and now cranked the heat up for crisp skin. Thigh temp was 153 at this point

finished and resting smells fantastic! making sides now!

I've never done the cheesecloth thing. I normally split a stick of butter and shove it under the skin. Sometimes have used a compound butter to add flavor and I usually rub it with olive oil as well.
