Smoked Chicken (Water Smoker)

Directions

1. Remove fat from chicken. Rinse thoroughly in cool water, drain. Place chicken in new, doubled, kitchen trash bags. Mix brown sugar and Tender Quick together, then pour over chicken. Mix with hands to insure tall meat is coated. Allow to marinate for at least 2 hrs.
2. Light charcoal 30 min before the meat is ready. Boil water for water pan. After 2 hrs, remove chicken and wash thoroughly in cool water. Put warm water in smoker water pan. Place chicken on racks, and put both green and dry wood chunks on the charcoal (you want the fire warm). Add in wood as necessary.
3. Switch bottom and top racks of chicken at least once during cooking. Add in water as necessary. Cooking time will vary between 2 and 3 hrs depending on weather and temperature of your cooker. It is recommended which the skin be removed before eating.
