This is the perfect sandwich for the next cookout.

Prep Time: 30 minutes

Cook Time: 3-4 hours

Yields: Varies

Start out by setting your smoker anywhere from 225-275 degrees. While the smoker is heating up, go ahead and get a 4-5 pound chicken ready. I like to spatchcock the chicken, so it lays flat on the grill. This makes it cook more even throughout and cuts your cooking time in half. Season your chicken with a spicy rub. I like to use Nashville hot seasoning to give the sandwich an extra kick. 

Put your chicken on the smoker and spritz every 30 minutes with apple cider vinegar. Make sure your chicken reaches 165 degrees internally. Pull off the smoker and let it rest for 15 minutes. Then shred it up.

Grab a brioche bun and build your sandwich. I added Lanes One Legged Chicken buffalo sauce, ranch and lettuce. This sandwich is so good you may never order one at a restaurant again.

You can pick up all Lanes products from Academy Sports or Ace Hardware.  

I smoked this on my Big Green Egg from Casual Furniture World. They have locations in Winston-Salem, Greensboro and Myrtle Beach. They carry every accessory for the Big Green Egg amongst other brands, all the finest names in outdoor patio sets, fire pits and everything you need to make sure your backyard is set up for all your summer get-togethers. 

Make sure to stop by and pick up your next grill at any of their locations!

Ingredients

1 Whole Chicken (4-5 pounds)

2T Nashville Hot Seasoning

1 Cup Buffalo Sauce

Pit Master Tip

If you have never spatchcocked a chicken, it is a much easier process and makes cooking it more efficient. You can add a lot of different toppings to your sandwich to make it your own. You can also substitute a whole chicken for a breast or thighs. I like shredded chicken best. Make it as spicy as you want and have fun!
