    I actually used a smoker instead to the BBQ. Makes a fantastic chicken!

    The taste was delicious. The smoke time took much longer (5+ hours. Next time will smoke early in the morning.

    Awesome recipe on every type of chicken. I've now got to the point that I mix it up in larger amounts and store it in an air tight container.

    I made this last night and it was great. The rub is excellent and I'll be trying it on different meat. The only modificationsI made was chicken breast instead of a whole chicken and not as much red pepper since my daughter was eating it and she loved it.

    Per my husband "This is the best smoked chicken". You'd think he never ate before because he was making the statement repeatedly from the beginning of the dinner to the end. Honestly, the recipe is easy to follow and the chicken came out moist and full of flavor. We love spicy food and this recipe was mild and not over powered by the pepper, red flakes or cayenne.

    This was a big hit at my Mother's Day dinner. I used it on chicken pieces and seasoned them the night before! Big Hit

    I didnt feel like lighting up the grill but I wanted some chicken wings with a different flavor. I followed the recipe to the tee. Then I added 1/2 cup of 100% apple juice to the seasoning. I baked for 375 for 25min in my roasting pan covered. I poured the remaing mixture on chicken and baked for another 15 mins. It was soo juicy and good. I will cook this again

    If you are looking for a recipe that is
    1 Easy
    2 Uses simple ingredients
    3 Flavorful
    4 Almost impossible to mess up

    THIS IS YOUR RECIPE!

    We made a couple modifications, but the crux of the recipe is intact.

    We used chicken wings. Make sure to dry the chicken before tossing in the dry ingredients. We used Thai chili pepper, but cayenne is good too. We cut it down to 1/2 tsp instead of 1 tsp, but that's simply a matter of taste. We subsituted splenda for brown sugar since I have to watch my sugar intake.

    We made a pouch of hickory (no applewood chunks as directed. We ended up opening the foil packet more, since the cooking time was shorter. We also soaked the wood first to increase the smoke, again because of the shorter cooking time. We put the wings on the second level of the gas grill...and

    The Result: incredibly crispy exterior, moist and tender interior. Just the right heat and while the preparation may not have had the same carmelizing effect asif we had used brown sugar, it was still sweet/spicy and well coated in spices.

    A highly recommended recipe!

    We smoked this chicken in our smoker and it was moist and delicious. We followed the recipe, cutting down the black pepper, pepper flakes and cayenne in half. My husband is a spice lover and enjoyed this rub. However, the kids and myself would prefer it less spicy. We will make this again, toning down the cayenne and pepper flakes.
