BCC for Dinner Tonight

[jeepdad]

I have been hankering some Beer Can Chicken (BCC) lately so I brined a bird last night in a basic brine of water, salt, spices, and sugar.




I like jabbing a fork in a lemon over and over and sticking the lemon down the bird's neck. The lemon then flavors the meat throughout the cook.


This is one of the rubs I picked up in Hawaii a few months back (Hawaiian Smoke) and man does it smell good. The ingredients are sea salts, cane sugar, garlic, black pepper, natural smoke flavor, and other spices.




On the grill!

Will post finished pics.

jeepdad I bet the Hawaiian Spice rub was incredible
I like the way you toothpick closed the neck, I've put onion & lemons inside
the cavity before...but never thought to close it up as you have. Will have to try. The plated results look delicious. You always take great photos.

I wonder how they make "natural smoke flavor"? Any ideas?
