SMOKED WHOLE CHICKEN WITH HONEY BBQ SAUCE
Steps:
- For the BBQ seasoning: Combine the brown sugar, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground mustard and cayenne in a small bowl.
- Preheat your smoker or grill to 275 degrees F.
- If using a charcoal or gas grill, prepare for two-zone cooking with heat or coals on one side of the grill and none on the other. If using a gas grill, prepare your smoking pouches by tearing off 2 large pieces of heavy-duty aluminum foil and layering them flat on your work surface. Place two cups of dry wood chips on the center of your foil. Fold up each long side and crimp to secure. Then roll up the ends to make a sealed wood chip pouch. Poke holes in the top of your pouch to allow the heat from the fire to singe the wood chips inside the pouch and make some gorgeous smoke that will be released through the holes and add a delicious smoke flavor to your food. Repeat this process so you have a total of 3 pouches.
- Combine the softened butter and the BBQ seasoning in a small bowl. Use your fingers to loosen the skin of the chicken and spread the seasoned butter up under the skin. Spread any remaining butter on top of the chicken skin.
- Use butcher twine to tie the legs together and tuck the wing tips behind the shoulder joint. Place your chicken directly on the grill grates over indirect heat on your smoker or grill. Add the wood of your choice; I recommend apple, cherry, maple, or pecan. If using a grill, place the smoking pouch on the direct heat. Close the lid and smoke for 2 1/2 to 3 hours, replacing the smoking pouch as necessary. Breasts should be about 160 to 165 degrees F. The thighs should be about 170 to 175 degrees F. If needed, rotate the chicken once during smoking.
- While your chicken is smoking, prepare your BBQ sauce. Combine the ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar, honey, salt, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder and black pepper in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring sauce to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove sauce from heat and allow to cool.
- Baste the chicken with the honey BBQ sauce during the last 30 minutes of cooking (this is optional). Once the chicken has reached the correct internal temperature, remove it from the grill, rest for 10 minutes, slice, and serve.

- Preheat your smoker to 250 degrees F. I like using a mild fruitwood like apple, but hickory or cherry also work well.
- Remove any giblets or neck from inside the cavity of the chicken. Set the chicken breast side down on a large cutting board. Starting on one side of the tail, use sharp kitchen shears to cut alongisde the spine all the way up to the neck cavity. Repeat on the other side of the spine until it is completely removed. Flip the chicken over and use the shears the cut up in between the chicken breasts to split the breast bone and cut the chicken completely in half. Dry all sides of the chicken with paper towels and make sure there aren't any dangling pieces of skin or bone.
- Drizzle the olive oil on the chicken halves and rub across the entire chicken. Sprinkle liberally with the sweet rub, but don't try to rub it in. Make sure the chicken is evenly coated on all sides with the seasoning.
- Place your chicken onto the grill grates skin side up. Close your smoker door and cook for 35-45 minutes per pound. Start checking your internal temperature at the hour mark.

- Drizzle chicken with olive oil and season on all sides with the sweet rub. I don't recommend rubbing in your seasoning because it will just pull back on the skin and your seasoning will chunk.
- Place your chicken directly on the grill grates on your smoker. Close the lid and smoke for 3 1/2 - 4 hours. Breasts should be about 160-165 degrees F. The thighs should be about 170-175 degrees F.

- Pour water into a large pot that is big enough to keep your chicken submerged in brine. Stir in salt, sugar, and lemon slices and let salt and sugar dissolve.
- Take chicken out of the brine and onto a rimmed baking sheet. (It’s easier to rub meats on a rimmed baking sheet than on a cutting board.)
BRINE SMOKED CHICKEN RECIPE - SOAKING CHICKEN BEFORE SMOKING
From smokegrillbbq.com
- This recipe takes longer than other smoked chicken recipes because you will need to brine the chicken for about 12 hours before you want to start cooking. To start the brining process, boil the water in a large pot that can hold the water and chicken. Add your sugar and salt so these ingredients can be dissolved and then let the water cool down or add ice so you do not cook the chicken in the brine mixture. Then add the rest of your brine ingredients and the whole chicken to the pot and set it in your refrigerator for 10 hours. The brine liquid has to be at a temperature lower than 40 degrees Fahrenheit in order to work properly. Learn more about how to brine a chicken >
- Next, soak wood chips in water for an hour to two but no longer than two hours. Soaking these wood chips will allow them to smolder and smoke for a long period of time instead of lighting on fire and quickly burning up. You can use any type of wood smoking chips you like, but we recommend a mixture of hickory and mesquite woods.
- You will want to light your charcoal smoker about 30 minutes before you want to start cooking the brined chicken. You will know when the charcoal is ready when all of the coals turn to a glowing white hot color.
- While you are waiting for the charcoal to set up, mix all of the smoked chicken rub recipe ingredients together. Then fully coat the chicken inside and outside with the rub seasoning. You can separate the skin and the breast of the chicken by pushing your fingers in between them. Then, you can stuff the seasoning down right on top of the chicken breast meat to add another layer of flavor to your brine smoked chicken.
