Course Main Course
Cook Time 2 hours
Servings 4

Ingredients

  • 1 whole Chicken
  • BBQ Sauce (You can use any of your favorite BBQ sauce)

Rub:

  • 2 tablespoon Brown Sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Kosher Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Onion Powder

Instructions

  • Begin by preheating your smoker to 250F.
  • Slice the whole chicken in half.
  • Grab a bowl and proceed to combine all of the rub ingredients into the bowl. Once finished, rub both sides of the chicken with the seasoning blend.
  • Place the chicken into the smoker and add in some wood chips. Applewood was the option I went with. Cook for 1.5 - 2 hours or until the internal temperature of the chicken has reached 165F. Use an instant-read thermometer to determine the internal temperature.
  • Once the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165F remove the chicken from the smoker and cover it with aluminum foil. Let it rest at room temperature for 15 minutes.
  • Shred chicken apart and mix with your favorite BBQ sauce.
  • Put the pulled chicken onto some sandwich buns and enjoy!
