1 Smoked Chicken - D-boned - (I smoked two chickens for dinner last week and froze one - now I took out of the freezer the day before and I will remove the meat and use in this chili. You will find my video on how to smoke a chick in my March Blogs:  patcancook.blogspot.com - Very simple and many uses for this chicken - you can make burritos, tacos, stew, etc. just get creative and explore your options.)

Put all ingredients in, cover and bring to a boil. Then turn down on simmer and cook one and one-half to two hours (until beans are soft.)  In the meantime, d-bone your chicken and when the beans are soft, add to your chili and cook another half hour to let the smoked flavors add to your chili.

A dollop of sour cream and salsa

HOW TO SMOKE A CHICKEN - VIDEO

HOW TO SMOKE A CHICKEN

Ingredients:

Hickory wood - soaked in water for one hour
Charcoal - I use +Kingsford
Granulated Garlic
Sea Salt
Pepper
Seasoned Salt
Chili Powder
I used cooksafe rubber bands to secure the legs.
I also cut off all of the excess skin, fat and tail.
I also rinsed my chickens
Sprayed them with a little olive oil before putting the seasonings on.  

Prepare your smoker and your chimney starter.  If you do not know how to use a chimney, how to make a foil pan nor do you know how to prepare a smoker (I use a +Weber Kettle), you might want to purchase my video on How to Smoke Pulled Pork. (Link below)

I stoked my fire with additional coals twice during the 2 hour cook.  Some smokers cook hotter, so make sure you are checking to see if the chicken is done periodically.  You check by putting a thermometer (I use a digital) between the breast meat and the leg (do not touch a bone).  You want poultry to be at 165 degrees.
