Went with a small chicken 5 lbs or so. Brined it for a few hours ib a simple brine. Then made a simple ru from brown sugar, salt, pepper, garlic, onion, cayenne, ground cumin, and parsley. Smoked it for two hours at 265-275 with hickory and then into the oven at 400. I kept an eye on the temps and pulled it when the breast hit 167 but the thigh wasn't quite done so the oven it is.
