Directions

MARINADE THE CHICKEN OVERNIGHT

  1. Put all marinade ingredients into a blender and liquify.
  2. Poke holes in chicken to allow marinade to penetrate and rub marinade into chicken (you can also inject the chicken with the marinade and pour remaining marinade over chicken). Pour remaining marinade over chicken and allow to marinate overnight.

PREPARE THE CHICKEN

  1. Remove chicken from marinade.
  2. Smoke chicken over indirect heat for about 1 - 1 1/2 hours with coal, hickory, oak, cinnamon sticks, pimento wood or all spice, and sliced onions. Temperature should be about 250-300 degrees.

PREPARE THE WHITE BBQ SAUCE

  1. Mix all ingredients together and allow them to sit for 1 hour so all the flavors develop. For a smokier sauce, add a few dashes of The Spice King’s Grill Concentrate seasoning.
  2. Serve as a dipping sauce for chicken.
