Ingredients

  • Springer Mountain Farms Whole Chicken*
  • Four41 South’s Monk McGuire’s Honeysuckle Dust (four41south.com)
  • King’s Hawaiian dinner olls
  • 4 oz Unicoi Preserves Apple Cider Pepper spread (unicoipreserves.com)
  • Palmetto Cheese Jalapeño Pimento Cheese (or your favorite pimento cheese recipe)
  • Wickles pickles

Instructions

  1. Cover the whole chicken with the Four41 rub and smoke over indirect heat at 250°F until the breast meat reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. 
  2. Remove chicken from smoker and let rest, covered in foil, until cool enough to handle. 
  3. Remove the skin and shred or pull the breast, leg and thigh meat. (Wings can be reserved for another use or for “Cook’s Treat”!).
  4. Heat up the jar of Unicoi Preserves Apple Cider Pepper Spread in a sauce pan, add chicken and heat thoroughly, coating all of the chicken.
  5. Split the dinner rolls in half and toast lightly.
  6. Top with chicken mixture, a dollop of jalapeno pimento cheese and garnish with a pickle slice.
  7. *For a quicker cooking time, spatchcock the chicken (remove backbone and flatten) before cooking. Alternately, you could use boneless, skinless breasts and thighs in place of the whole chicken.
  8. Alternative Cooking Methods: Direct grill them at 350°F or roast in a 350°F oven until internal temp reaches 160°F, then cool and shred.
