    I made this today using the slow smoker. Once the smoke was going I put the chicken with the broth mix on. A little over 2 hours later I placed the chicken directly on the grid, added the glaze and added more rub. Repeated it again an hour later. After an hour, I put them on the gas grill at high temp for 10 minutes for some char. FANTASTIC!

    Oh my goodness this is so delicious. I live in the country and had to make a couple substitutions. I used jalapeno peppers juice for my hot sause and elderberry seedless jam.
    The braising liquid is the bomb. After your through with it let it cool then refrigerate. It made the best gravy. After chilling remove the fat from the top and reserve 3 Tbsp for your oil for a delicious gravy.
    For the gravy 3 Tbsp. Each Flour and chicken fat and make a roux. Add a can of rotel tomatoes and the braising liquid and simmer 15 minutes. While we ate this over rice I dreamed about putting sliced sausage and shrimp for an entirely different meal. This is a great bonus to the chicken.
    Bravo

    I was a tiny bit skeptical even though I have made dozens of ATK recipes. This is quite an investment in time since I don't have a sous chef gathering my spices. I substituted honey for apple jelly; for some reason there's none in the stores. I don't eat jelly so I didn't have any. Otherwise, I followed the recipe to the letter and I have to admit, that's the best barbeque chicken I've had and I live in Texas.

    I've made this recipe twice now. The second time I substituted apricot jam for the apple jelly and I thought it tasted even better. That said, this recipe isn't competition-ready for several reasons. First, the chunks of spice in the dry rub are too uneven, so they'd get marked down for appearance, and possibly for flavor if a judge bit into a big chunk of pepper, for instance. Second, competition meats in most BBQ events, have to be cooked solely on charcoal or wood pits. Gas isn't allowed. Third, they didn't remove the skin, scrape it and replace it. So all the big globs of fat under the skin would still be there. That's also a potentially big markdown. Fourth, they didn't brine or inject it. For legit competition chicken, check out Harry Soo's video. He's won numerous major BBQ and grilling competitions.
    But now that I've said all that, this is a really good recipe for general backyard grilling. It's a very flexible recipe--easy to make and easy to customize. And it's a lot less work than Harry Soo's chicken recipe. Next time I make it, I'll probably try subbing in some orange marmalade for the apple jelly, or possibly some sour cherry or red currant jam.
