- 1 whole chicken
- Kosher salt
- Aji blend spice or season with your favorite chicken rub
- 1/2 cup canola oil
- Juice from 1 lemon
- 2 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- Watch the video :)
- Split your chicken
- flip chicken on its back and cut out the spine using kitchen shears or a sharp knife. Don't even think about the garden clippers.
- remove the breast bone by making slits on either side of the breast bone in the cartilage and pulling it out
- finish by separating the halves
- watch this video for more details. Do it on 2x speed to scramble your brain like me
- Season halves generously with the kosher salt and let sit in the fridge overnight
- An hour before cooking, season with your rub and let sit on the counter
- Meanwhile, get your smoker up to 275-300F
- Place your chicken on the smoker with legs pointed towards the heat source
- We're aiming for ~150F internal temp in the breast and 180F in the thigh
- Mix together oil, lemon juice, Dijon and Worcestershire
- About 30 minutes in to the cook, start basting the chicken with the oil mixture. You might call this a mop.
- When you hit the internal temps, remove the chicken from the smoker and broil in the oven for 30-60 seconds. Be careful as this can move quickly and the wing tips can scorch is you aren't watching.
- Slice and forget that turkey exists
