Servings: persons

2 cups buttermilk
1/4 red onion, chopped
6 garlic cloves
1 teaspoon of fresh mint
1 tablespoon fresh oregano
2 tablespoons fresh chives
2 tablespoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
2 tablespoons sugar
3 large chicken breasts

1
Combine all ingredients except for the chicken in a blender. Pulse until smooth. Pour over chicken and let marinate in a non-reactive covered dish or plastic zip top bag for 4-24 hours. The longer the brining time, the more flavor they will pick up.
2
Remove chicken from the brine and pat dry on paper towels, otherwise the chicken may be too salty.
3
Place breasts on the rack of a Weber grill fitted with the Smokenator 1000 filled to manufacturers directions with water/charcoal/wood chips once the temperature of the grill lid is stabilized around 215-230 degrees. Smoke for about 1 1/2-2 hours, being sure to keep the temperature steady and adding charocoal/wood chips as needed to keep a steady amount of smoke.
4
Allow the breasts to rest for 5 minutes, then slice and enjoy!
