Lacquered Saigon Chicken On A Beer Can

Features:
    Cuisine:

    Amazing! Made all as directed apart from using hickory chips using a smoker box in a gas BBQ. The chicken was super moist, the meat had a perfect amount of smoke flavor and the skin was delicious. While I've smoked food a fair bit before the instructions are also really clear and precise for anyone who hasn't.
