hickory smoked chicken Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Mix 1/3 c hickory syrup with softened butter and 1/2 tsp garlic salt (or more/less to taste), 1/2 tsp onion powder (more/less) and 1/2 tsp salt
  • stuff quartered onion into bird cavity and tie or secure legs together for grilling
  • gently loosen and separated the skin of the bird from the meat and gently work the hickory syrup mixture between the skin and the meat taking care not to rip the skin - you can use an icing/pastry bag if you have trouble - try to get it evenly distributed
  • place chicken or grill and place hickory bark directly on the coals and replace the lid. We use a traditional charcoal weber, but you can use whatever smoking get-up you have. Also, you can smoke your chicken with whatever you want, but there is nothing like the shag bark (I can sell you some or point you in the right direction if you want to try it - you'll love it)
  • When the smoke stops coming out of the vents (around 15-20 minutes) wrap the chicken in heavy duty foil and replace on grill - cook for 1-2 hours or until done and tender enough to suit.
  • If you have questions about the shagbark hickory bark or syrup, email me
  • thanks
