Smoked Chicken

Method

Smoked Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Rub the whole chicken with olive oil, then season it generously with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.

  2. 2

    Smoke the Chicken

    Preheat your smoker to 250°F (121°C). Place the seasoned chicken on the smoker grate and smoke for 3-4 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from smoker and let rest for 10 minutes before shredding.

Coleslaw

  1. 3

    Prepare the Coleslaw

    In a large bowl, combine shredded green cabbage and carrots.

  2. 4

    Mix the Dressing

    In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper.

  3. 5

    Combine

    Pour the dressing over the cabbage and carrot mixture. Toss to combine thoroughly. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Alabama White Sauce

  1. 6

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a bowl, mix together mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and lemon juice until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Flour Tortilla

  1. 7

    Make the Dough

    In a large bowl, mix together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in lard or vegetable shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  2. 8

    Add Water

    Gradually add water and mix until a dough forms. Knead on a floured surface until smooth, about 5 minutes.

  3. 9

    Roll and Cook

    Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a thin circle. Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook tortillas for about 30 seconds per side until lightly browned and cooked through.
