Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 whole chicken
Chicken BBQ rub
- 3 tbsp salt
- 1 tbsp paprika powder
- 1 tbsp tumeric powder
- 1 tbsp onion powder
- ½ tbsp garlic powder
- ½ tbsp cumin powder
- ½ tbsp ginger powder
Butter sauce
- ½ cup fresh parsley chopped fine
- 3 tbsp Chicken BBQ rub
- 100 grams butter
Instructions
Spatchcocked chicken
- Take your chef's knife and cut along the backbone on either the left or the right side of the chicken. I like to leave the backbone on because the bone gives flavor but you are free to take it out.
- Then rotate the chicken with the backbone pointing down and spread it out as much as you can,
- With both hands press as hard as you can and pop the breastbone.
Seasoning
- CMix all the ingredients of the above mentioned mix togehter in a bowl or a DIY nutella sprinkler with holes in the cap.
- Season the whole chicken and leave nothing untouched. Hold on to around 3 tbsp of this magic stuff.
Smoker setup
- Fill up the Burnhard with hickory pellets.
- Set the temperature to the lowest setting that you have on your smoker. In my case it's the smoker setting which is around 60 degrees celcius.
Smoked chicken
- Smoke the chicken for an hour and then raise the temperature to 160 degrees celcius.
- I'm roasting the chicken to around 96 degrees celcius which is the heat that you need to pmake it pulled. This will take you another hour.
- Take out the chicken and place it on a board. Then pulle the chicken from the inside with a fork. Leave the chicken inside it's carcass.
Butter sauce
- Take a pan and heat it up with 100 grams of butter and let the butter melt.
- Chop fine some parsley.
- Add the parsley to the butter along with 3 tbsp of that leftover chicken rub and stir it.
- Pour the hot butter sauce on top of the pulled chicken and your roasted pulled chicken is done.
