OK, I cheated and used a store bought marinade from BBQ Galore and injected both chickens in about 20 places with it, then applied a hickory dry rub (yes, store bought) and let is sit overnight. I then sat them both on containers with beer and smoked over hickory at about 200 for 4-4.5 hours until it came up to temp. I then let them sit for 30-45 minutes before carving. Very tender and tasty, especially the leftovers the day after!
Still a rookie but will start experimenting with homemade rubs and marinades soon...
