-----FREDDIE JOHNSON MDTF77A-----
1 Roasting chicken 4-5 lbs.
-----FOR THE DRY RUB-----
1 tablespoon Seasoning salt
1 tablespoon Garlic powder
Salt & pepper to tastee
-----TO SMOKE-----
1 Jar of Cajun Injector* -- seasoning if
availab
or recipe below
1 can Beer (th Blazers use Bud)
1/2 cup Mesquite chips soaked in -- water (up to 1
cup)
-1 hour.
-----CRISPY CRITTER'S BASTING-----
-----SAUCE-----
1 cup White vinegar
1 cup Apple juice
6 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon Lemon juice
1 tablespoon Dry rub (the recipe above -- will be fine)

Remove any fat lumps in the cavity. Wash chicken well; blot dry.
Combin the dry rub ingredients and season the bird inside and out. If
using Cajun Injector, load the syring and inject 1 T sauce into each
breast, leg and thigh. Pop the tab off a beer can. Using a "church
key" opening, make 6-7 holes in the top of the can. Spoon any
remaining dry rub through the holes. Stand the chicken upright and
insrt the beer can into the cavity. Spread out the legs to form a
sort of tripod with the beer can so the chicken stands upright. Place
the chicken in a smoker or a grill set up as a smoker. Smoke-cook th
chicken for 2 1/2 to 3 hours or until fall-off-the-bone tender.
Serve the chicken upright o thee beer can on a platter. *NOT: Cajun
Injector is a bottled basting mixture. *******CRISPY CRITTERS BASTING
SAUCE******* Combine the ingredients with 1 cup of water in a heavy
saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmr and cook for 5
minutes. "This offbeat recipe makes the most succulent barbequed
chicken I've ever tasted.
The secret: The open can of beer insertd into the cavity. Besides
being incredibly tender, the bird makes a great conversation piece.
The recipe comes from the Bryce Boar Blazers of Texas". Steven
