This chicken is covered in a tasty rub then slathered in BBQ sauce while it grills. Such a delicious summer meal. I cook this in a smoker, but you can easily do this on the grill or in the oven.
Ingredients
- 1 whole chicken, halved
- 3 tablespoons Kansas City BBQ Rub
- 1 bottle BBQ sauce
Instructions
- Rub the barbecue rub all over the chicken and under the skin. Marinade in the rub for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Heat the smoker to 180 degrees. Place the chicken on the smoker breast side up and cook for 1 hour. (If you’re not using a smoker you can skip this step)
- Increase the grill or smoker heat to 350 degrees. Baste the chicken in BBQ sauce and cook until it reaches an internal temp of 165 degrees, about another hour.
- Rest for 10 minutes before serving. Serve with extra BBQ sauce.
Takes 2 hours (plus marinating time)
