I thought I'd post this just in time for the holiday.

Barbecued Smoked Chicken
Chicken is everyone's favorite food. It goes with so many different types of meals and almost everyone eats it. This recipe adds not only the flavor of the spices but adds that little touch of apple wood smoky flavor. You will fix this one often!

Apple Flavor Seasoning From John Henry

Let's begin by gathering the following ingredients:


1 whole chicken, halved or quartered
Apple Wood chips soaked or chunks ( Avail at walmart or your local hardward store)

2 tsp brown sugar
1 tsp salt
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp garlic salt
1 tsp fresh ground black pepper
1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

Let's begin mixing the dry ingredients in a medium size mixing bowl. Once thoroughly combined, rub the seasoning over both halves of the chicken making sure some of the seasoning get under the skin for added flavor to the meat. Cover your chicken and place in the refrigerator for several hours.

Get your fire going and make it a medium to hot fire. Add your soaked apple wood chips or chunks to the fire. Chips should be placed in a smoking tray or aluminum foil. Wrap loosely or punch a few holes in the top of it with a fork and place directly on the hot coals. Chunks can be placed on the edge of the fire.

Once the smoke and heat are working together, then place the chicken on the grill, but not directly over the heat. Barbecue until the meat is 160° in the thickest part of the meat.. Cover, this will keep in the smoke and to prevent oxygen from igniting the smoking wood. After 30 minutes turn the chicken to its opposite side. Double check to insure the juices near the bone run clear.

Enjoy! :)
