Smoke the Chicken
Place the chicken halves in the smoker, skin side up. Smoke for about 2 to 2.5 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Baste with Butter
Melt the stick of butter and baste it over the chicken every 30 minutes while it smokes. This will keep the chicken moist and add flavor.

Prepare Texas Toast
While the chicken is smoking, butter the slices of thick sliced bread on one side. Once the chicken is nearly done, place the bread on the grill or in a skillet over medium heat, butter side down, and toast until golden brown.
