Smoked Chicken Sandwich

You ever think around 2pm that you want some smoked meat for dinner? Your options are fairly limited at that time, but smoked shredded chicken will satisfy the need. 

  • 2 whole chickens around 5.5lbs each

  • Spray can of duck fat

  • 6 tbsp of “Rub Business”

Rub Business

  • 1 Tbsp of paprika

  • 1 Tbsp of brown sugar

  • 1 Tbsp of garam masala 

  • ½ Tbsp of chili powder

  • ½ Tbsp of chipotle chili pepper

  • ½ Tbsp of onion powder

  • ½ Tbsp of garlic powder

  • ½ Tbsp of salt

  • ½ Tbsp of pepper

Preheat your smoker to 300 and add a few small chucks of hickory. After moving the innards of the chickens, spray them down with a coating of duck fat. Apply a coating of Rub Business to the outside of each chicken as well as inside the cavity. Smoke the chickens until the thigh meat reaches 185 and the breast meat reaches 160. Let the birds rest for about 20 minutes. Remove the skin and set aside then shred the meat. Dice the skin into small pieces and add back to the meat.
