Chef's Tip
Remember to smoke, not grill these ribs as the sugar in the rub will burn if placed over direct flame.
Directions:
- Preheat your smoker so that the temp is between 275° and 300°F.
- Split chicken vertically into two halves.
- Lightly coat chicken with olive oil, to act as a binder for the rub.
- Liberally coat chicken halves on both side with the SPG rub.
- Use smoking chips as per your smokers’ directions.
- Place chicken in smoker for 3 hours, or until internal temperature is 170° degrees.
- Remove chicken from smoker once done, and serve with your favorite barbecue sauce or glaze.
*Keep a spray bottle of water handy in case of flare-ups.
