How To Make apple wood smoked chicken and diy stovetop smoker

• 
  1

  Place one cooling rack in the bottom of the pot. Sprinkle a layer of wood chips, (approximately 1/4 cup) to lightly cover the bottom surface.

  You may also add herbs if desired, use those with a hard stem, such as rosemary or thyme.

  Place the pie pan over the rack, then position the remaining rack on top of the pan.

  Now add the food you will be smoking on top of the rack and cover with the lid. Place the pot on the stove over medium high heat. Within a minute the wood chips will start to smoke (lift the lid just slightly to check), then turn the heat down to medium low, and smoke for 3-8 minutes, depending on the amount of food you are smoking and the type of food.

  Remove the food from the smoker and finish on the grill or in the oven. Here I smoked a chicken using applewood chips and rosemary for about 6 minutes. After removing from the smoker I coated the chicken with softened garlic butter, and seasoned generously with salt and pepper.
