Ingredients for BBQ Smoked Chicken

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Rinse the whole chicken under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Make the Injection Mixture

    In a bowl, combine the Zipline Copper Alt beer and olive oil. Use a meat injector to inject the mixture evenly into the chicken, focusing on the breast and thighs.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Rub

    In a separate bowl, mix together the brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper to create the dry rub.

  4. 4

    Apply the Rub

    Rub the spice mixture all over the chicken, making sure to get it under the skin where possible for maximum flavor.

  5. 5

    Preheat the Smoker

    Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C).

  6. 6

    Smoke the Chicken

    Place the chicken in the smoker breast side up. Smoke for about 4-5 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

  7. 7

    Rest and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the smoker and let it rest for 15-20 minutes before carving. Serve and enjoy!
