Wood Smoke Roasted Chicken - ★Cooking Recipes★

A recipe is merely words on paper; a guideline, a starting point from which to improvise. It cannot pretend to replace the practiced hand and telling glance of a watchful cook. For that reason feel free to stir your own ideas into this dish. When you cook it once, it becomes yours, so personalize it a bit. Add more of an ingredient you like or less of something you dont like. Try substituting one ingredient for another. Remember words have no flavour, you have to add your own!
Directions for: Wood Smoke Roasted Chicken

Ingredients

1 cup of salt

1 cup of sugar

1 gallon of water

1 whole chicken, weighing about 2 pounds

Directions

1. In a bowl large enough to hold the chicken and liquid, add salt, sugar and water. Stir until dissolved. Place chicken into the brine and let soak in fridge for 2 hours.

2. Build a large hot hard wood fire in the bottom of an old barbeque and when its burned down to the coals, brush them to one side.

3. Place a rack over the other half of the barbeque.

4. Rinse brined chicken and pat dry. Place it on the rack and add 2 or 3 fresh pieces of wood to the fire. Smoke roast for 1 hour or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees. Slice the breast meat, remove legs and serve on a platter.
