Main Course
Beer baths and smoke — that is the move. This whole chicken gets a full overnight soak in your beer of choice before getting rubbed down with Sasquatch BBQ Mother Plucker Blend inside and out. Low-and-slow at 225 degrees does the rest, pulling moisture from the beer brine and flavor from the rub into every layer of the bird. The kind of smoked chicken that makes the whole block stop and ask what you are cooking.
Ingredients
- 1 cup Sasquatch BBQ Mother Plucker Blend
- Pot or container large enough to fit a full-sized chicken

6 pack of your favorite beer - we used Georgetown Brewery Bodhizafa IPA
