It's been too long since my last smoke. My wife thought so, too, so she picked up a 5 pound chicken for our Independence Day early dinner. Isn't she wonderful!
I got a new electric smoker for Christmas that I hadn't used yet. So this is my first time smoking with it. It's a Char Broil with a window and built in remote.
It's also my first time injecting. I made a marinade of 1/2 cup water, 1/4 cup butter, and a tbsp of my altered version of the Big Bald Rub. I was surprised at how quickly the bird plumps up when you start injecting!
I used the same rub under the skin and then on top with some mustard.
I forgot to take before pics, so here's a pic during the smoke. Can't wait to see how it turns out!
