Herb Smoked Chicken Recipe

Basil, oregano, parsley, thyme, and rosemary lend a special flavour to this Herb Smoked Chicken. Butter helps keep the chicken moist while smoking. Better results if you use our Premium Hunter’s Blend bisquettes.

3½ L (about 1 gallon) Water

½ Cup kosher salt

Juice and zest of one lemon

¼ Cup of fresh chopped herbs (we used basil, oregano, parsley, thyme, and rosemary; have fun with it and mix it up!)
