" EVIL" CHICKEN

I modified this recipe from a tea smoked chicken recipe in one of my cookbooks. My husband dubbed it "evil" chicken because he couldn't stop eating it. I find it turns out best when you use a whole chicken. However you can substitute boneless breasts. I serve with steamed rice and broccoli.

  • If using a whole chicken bake at 350 for 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until chicken is done.
