Directions
- Using hardwood mesquite pellets, preheat your grill or smoker to 275°F
- Pat the chicken completely dry with a paper towel. Lightly coat in duck fat, then season on all sides with BBQ Rub.
- Place chicken skin-side up directly on the lowest grill grates. Smoke for 45-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 155-160°F.
- Then, increase the grill temperature to 375°F to crisp the skin.
- Brush the chicken with BBQ sauce. Option to add some extra honey to your BBQ sauce if you like it sweeter.
- Continue cooking for another 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 175° in the thigh.
- Remove from the grill and let rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
