1 If the internal temperature is low after 3Â½ hours, take your turkey off the smoker and finish it in the oven. 2  Cook the turkey to internal temperatures of 175Â° F to 180Â° F in the thigh and 165Â° F in the breast. 3  Your turkey may take up to 12 hours to cook.
Cook for an hour and 15 minutes. Check your smoked chicken breasts to make sure the temperature is still holding at about 250 degrees. Flip the chicken breasts and close the lid again. After 30 minutes, check the internal temperature of the chicken with a meat thermometer. You are looking for a temperature of 160 degrees before you can pull them off the smoker. Serve your smoked chicken breasts with a side of barbecue sauce for dipping.
