  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
• For the glaze:
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar

Instructions

1. Preheat your smoker to 225°F. Soak wood chips in water for 30 minutes if using.
2. In a large bowl, mix ground chicken, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until just combined. Tip: Overmixing can make the meatloaf tough.
3. Shape the mixture into a loaf on a piece of parchment paper. Transfer to the smoker.
4. Smoke the meatloaf for 2 hours, maintaining a steady temperature. Tip: Use a meat thermometer to ensure it doesn’t dry out.
5. While the meatloaf smokes, whisk together ketchup, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar in a small bowl for the glaze.
6. After 2 hours, brush the glaze over the meatloaf. Smoke for another 30 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Tip: Let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing to retain juices.

With a smoky crust and tender interior, this meatloaf steals the show. Serve it sliced on a platter with a side of roasted veggies or crumbled over a salad for a smoky twist.
