Smoked chicken is a poultry product that has been preserved and flavored through the process of smoking. The chicken, typically a whole bird or individual pieces, undergoes curing, and then is exposed to smoke from burning wood, often hickory, applewood, or mesquite. This imparts a distinct smoky flavor and aroma, a beautiful mahogany color to the skin, and tender, juicy meat with a slightly firmer texture than traditionally roasted chicken. Looking for a delicious, smoky alternative to regular chicken? Smoked chicken is a versatile and flavorful option for sandwiches, salads, or even as a main course.

Smoked chicken should be refrigerated promptly after purchase or preparation. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil, or store it in an airtight container. Properly stored, smoked chicken can last for 3-4 days in the refrigerator. For longer storage, freeze it, which can extend its shelf life to 2-3 months. Thaw frozen smoked chicken in the refrigerator before reheating to maintain its quality and prevent bacterial growth.
