Ingredient List:
- 1 — DCB Windhaven Farms Whole Chicken
- 3 Tbsp — All Peppers Seasoned Oil
- 1 oz — Mesa Rosa Chipotle Seasoning
- 1 bottle — Val de France Organic Sparkling Apple Juice
- 1 bottle — Dr Pete’s® Chipotle Grilling Glaze
- 4–6 — chunks Cherry Wood
- 1 — Raichlen’s Beer Can Chicken Roaster
Items available at Smoke N’ Fire.
Instruction:
Coat the chicken lightly with All The Peppers Oil and then a light to medium coat of the Chipotle Seasoning, inside and out. Coat the Raichlen’s Beer Can Chicken Roaster lightly with All Peppers Seasoned Oil. In a microwaveable bowl, mix a teaspoon of the Chipotle Seasoning with the Sparkling Apple Juice; warm the Apple Juice and seasoning blend until close to boiling. Carefully pour mixture into the Beer Can Chicken Roaster. Slide the chicken onto the chicken roaster, folding the legs together and the wings behind the back.
Preheat the smoker or gas grill to low and slow heat (170–210°), and add the Cherry wood chunks. Set the chicken into the smoker in the indirect heat zone for ~ ½ to 1 hour, until meat reaches internal temperature of 120° and lightly browned. Then elevate the temperature of the grill/smoker to 350°. Roast until meat has a crispy skin with a nice bronze color, ~ 1 hour. At this point start basting the bird with the Chipotle Glaze to create a mouth watering glaze. Continue cooking the meat at 350° for an additional ½ to 1 hour until the internal meat temp is at least 165°, both in the breast meat as well as the thigh leg meat…. Pull the chicken to rest 5 to 10 minutes, then slice or shred the meat. Drizzle a little of the cooking lager and seasoning from the Chicken Roaster onto the sliced meat for extra flavor. The Chipotle Glaze may also be served as a dipping sauce on the side.
Serve Immediately!
Enjoy!!
