"This chicken comes out tender, juicy and the flavor is just like those you buy in the deli that are ready to eat. You can make up a batch of this seasoning and store it in a glass jar, so you have some on hand at all times. It is also good on oven baked potatoes wedges, and to season pork roast or pork chops. To cook the chicken, you can use a rotisserie on the grill or, bake it in the oven. You can also use a smoker for this chicken. IF USING THE SMOKER: Use a combination of charcoal and big mesquite chunks. Cook for 1 hour per pound and keep the temperature in the food box of your smoker at 275 degrees F, using about 3/4 of a chimney full of charcoal. Soak your wood chunks in water for about 1 hour before starting chicken. You will need to check the temperature often while the chicken is cooking to make sure it doesn't get below 225 degrees F. Also put a large pan of hot water below the grates in the food box to keep the chicken from drying out. Make sure the internal temperature of the chicken hits 165 degrees before you take them out. NOTE: The cook time listed is for the oven or rotisserie method. If using the smoker follow the directions above. PLEASE NOTE: The preparation time DOES NOT include the sitting time in the fridge from 4-6 hours to overnight."
