This will be my third smoke and first chicken. I made this brine below but I changed the sugar for dark brown sugar. If anyone has any good rub recipes to match up with this brine please reply. And here's a pic of the bird going in the fridge untill tomm.

Probably my favorite thing I've smoked so far. Very juicy and the juices from the brine soaked in very good. Here's the finished product and here's all that's left.
