Charcoal

Hardwood Smoking Chunks

A good Poultry Brine

Directions To Follow:

Brine the chicken by putting it in a plastic bag with ¼ cup salt, ¼ cup sugar, and 4 cups water. Soak the chicken for about 4 to 6 hours, making sure that there are no traces of sugar or salt grains left.
After brining, rinse and dry the chicken.
Use the spices to rub inside the chicken’s body, not so much over the skin since it will be removed anyways.
Wrap the chicken and place in the refrigerator.
Get the charcoal and prepare the grill by making sure that the temperature is from 250 to 275 degrees range.
Take the chicken out and cook it over a drip pan for 60 to 90 minutes.
After, flip the chicken over and cook on the other side for the same amount of time.
As the chicken comes close to being done, check its internal temperature at 185 degrees.
Take the chicken out and let it rest for 15 minutes wrapped in aluminum foil.
With insulated food gloves, shred the meat by taking the skin off, separating the bigger parts of the chicken, and getting ride of excess bones and unnecessary fats.

Here are some tips and suggestions to help you when using this recipe. When cooking the chicken on the grill, keep in mind that the grill doesn’t cook the chicken evenly. So first place the breast side up. Then the second time you cook, turn the chicken upside down so that the side that did not get more contact with heat will get its turn.
