Smoked chicken is given a husky taste that complements the inherent sweetness of the fowl and brings a hearty note to the food it’s combined with. The sweeter-smelling the wood used, the more alluring the flavor it leaves behind. Hickory or fruitwoods, maple, oak and alder chips, dried grapevine trimmings or herb branches lend a sweet, firm flavor to food cooked in a closed container above it.
