Ingredients
Marinade
Chicken
BBQ Sauce
Marinating the Chicken
1. Prepare the Marinade
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, honey, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well blended.
2. Marinate the Chicken
Place the cleaned whole chicken in a large resealable bag or container. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is evenly coated. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
Smoking the Chicken
3. Prepare the Smoker
Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C). Soak the apple wood chips in water for about 30 minutes, then drain them.
4. Smoke the Chicken
Remove the chicken from the marinade and let excess marinade drip off. Place the chicken on the smoker grate, breast side up. Add the soaked apple wood chips to the smoker box or directly on the coals. Smoke the chicken for about 3-4 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Making the BBQ Sauce
5. Prepare the Sauce
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
