The seductive smell of wood smoke permeates meat over hours of slow, indirect heat, developing compound flavors and textures. Smoking is a great way to turn a relatively cheap cut into fancy fare that is well worth the wait. Level Beginner Prep Time 4.5 hours Cook Time 3.5-4 hours Serves 4-6 Cook it With Our 12 Inch Cast Iron Skillet Ingredients Chicken 1 whole chicken (about 4 pounds) Brine 1 gallon water 1 cup salt 1 cup sugar Rub 2 tablespoons salt 2 tablespoons brown sugar 2 tablespoons garlic powder 1 tablespoon black pepper 1 tablespoon paprika 1 teaspoon rosemary Directions Mix together the brine ingredients until dissolved in a large pot or other container. Add the chicken and enough water to cover. Place in the refrigerator for 4 hours. Rinse the chicken and pat dry. Allow to thaw if needed. Combine the rub ingredients in a bowl (or use store-bought). Rub the entire chicken with olive oil and sprinkle liberally with the rub mixture. Place the chicken in a 12 Inch Skillet and smoke between 225 and 250 degrees Fahrenheit for 3.5-4 hours, until breast meat reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove to a platter, tent with foil, and allow to rest for at least 20 minutes. Tip: Don’t own a smoker? You can transform any grill into a slow-smoking BBQ machine. The key is indirect heat and smoldering wood chips. Just place the food as far from the heat as possible, add a cast iron dish filled with hardwood chips directly on the burner or charcoal, and close that lid!
