INGREDIENTS
1
4 to 5 pound whole chicken
1/4
yellow onion
2
sprigs rosemary
2
sprigs thyme
2 cloves
garlic, smashed
Wood chunks (hickory, pecan, or apple are my favorites–mesquite is too strong for a slow smoke on chicken)
Spice rub (see below)
1/4 cup
paprika
2 tbsp
brown sugar
1 tsp
kosher salt
1
heaping teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 tsp
onion powder
1 tsp
garlic salt
1 tsp
chili powder
