Smoked Barbecue Pulled Chicken

Step 1

In a bowl mix about 2 tbsp of the Texas Style BBQ Rub into the soften butter.

Step 2

Rub the butter mixture under the skin of the bird. Really get in there and get as much of the meat as possible.

Step 3

Rub a little extra butter on the skin as well.

Step 4

Shake your Texas Style BBQ Rub seasoning liberally all over the chicken, make sure you get every nook and cranny.

Step 5

Wrap it up in heavy duty aluminum foil.

Step 6

Place on your grill/smoker at about 230°

Step 7

After about 3/12 hours take off the grill and make sure the internal temperature is 165° F. If it is go ahead and remove it from the foil and place back on the grill

Step 8

Add some smoker chips to a smoker box, or you can use tin foil

Step 9

Wrap the tinfoil into a rectangle as tightly as possible, then poke a few holes into the top

Step 10

Continue to cook and smoke your unwrapped chicken for another 30-45 minutes to increase the smoked flavor, and dry up the skin. Keep the lid closed on your grill to capture all the smoke!

Step 11

It should be a beautiful golden brown when it's done!

Step 12

You can serve as is, or pull it apart with a fork. I like to shake in a little more bbq rub into the chicken after pulling as well as a couple squirts of bbq sauce. Then serve on a bun with some BBQ sauce and enjoy!
