I brined the chicken in a mix of water, kosher salt, pepper corns, garlic, 1 bay leaf and some red pepper flakes.
Heated my drum to 315 and added some hickory.....
I made my twice baked potatoes and added them to the drum after about 40 minutes...
Everything took close to 1 hour and 15 minutes.
The smoked chicken, twiced baked potato, cantelope and salad...
It turned out moist and tasty!

Hey, Thank you Gene! I really like brined smoked chicken...heck I like brined fried chicken too. lol
Hope the weather is drying out for you now!
I've been hooked on brining my chicken for years. I think I'll try adding the red pepper flakes to mine.
Wow! That looks fantastic! I have to grill a bunch of chicken for a family reunion this weekend, and now I think I'll definitely brine it all before hand. Looks delicious!
I love twice baked potatoes!
Me too Chris, Isn't it good! I like brined turkeys and pork chops too. :)
Thanks Serabelle! Hope the chicken turns out well for you this weekend. :)
YD, me too! One of my favorite side dishes. Smoking them adds a whole new level of flavor too. :)
Where would some one like me find a food grade drum in somewhere like Bellingham Wash. Everything is plastic in Vancouver
Hi Mike!
I'm not sure... but a lot of folks have been getting them from Craigslist. You might keep an eye out there or even place an ad.
Good luck to you!!
