No time for brine on a chicken ...well asumuing that we all have smokers and maybe a charcoal grill as well if u dont have time for brine and your worried about the chicken drying out ...try rubbing them down the day before or evem that morning and just grill them first on a charcoal grill just to get that skin nice amd crispy ...like 15 20 min on either side...and if it chars a bit dont sweat it they moisen right up in smoker...when done on the grill put in smoker at about 265-275 and smoke until internal temp is 180 or so put in cooler or pan in the oven to rest for 20 min and you will have nice juicy chicken no brine required...and i also spritz mine with a mixture of apple juice apple cider vineger and butter....I did 300 chicken halfs for the gun show for the town...and every peice was juicy as hell.....sold out in 5 hours
