Recipe Description
For Father’s Day this year, my hubby received a smoker from the kids and I. He had been talking about wanting a smoker for over a year, ever since he saw a display at one of our local stores. Over the year, he researched recipes, tips, advice, and more, so when he finally got one, he was prepared! The first thing he smoked was ribs, and although they were quite tasty, they weren’t a huge favorite for us. We learned that our family just does not prefer ribs. But, when he smoked a whole chicken for us, WOW, we were in Heaven. The flavor was amazing!! Moist, tender, and full of that smoky flavor from the mesquite wood pellets. If you do not have a smoker, I still highly recommend trying this rub and cooking the chicken on your grill or in your oven. You can remove the chicken from the bone and enjoy it on a sandwich, over salad, by itself, and more. The possibilities are endless!! Enjoy!!
