Preparation:

Just look at the last licture on the right! That says it all. This will be a quick and easy cook full in flavor.

This recipe will require at minimum 8 hours of brining time so you will have to start early or the night pefore. I highly recomend the night before and allowing 12 to 14 hours of brine time.

Start by combining the following in a small bowl.

4 Cups Orange Juice
6 Tbsp Reduced Sodium Soy Sauce
2 Tbsp Honey
1 Tbsp Finely Chopped Rosemary
1 Tbsp Chopped Garlic
1 Tsp Paprika
1 Tsp Oregano
1 Tsp Ginger
Pepper to Taste

Mix these ingredients thoroughly so the honey fully dissolves. Next using a pair of pultry sheers, cut the backbone out of the chcikens. Lay the chicken back down and using the palm of your hand press down on the breast flattening the chicken out. Using the poultry sheers cut the chicken in two down the center of the breast bone. Cut off any excess fatty skin. Rinse the chicken thoroughly to wash away any bone fragments.

Place both halves of each chicken into a 1 gallon Ziploc bag. Pour in 1/2 the marinade. Buro out any excess air and seal the Ziploc bag. This will allow for good marinade penetration. Repeats these steps for the remaining chicken. Place the chicken in the fridge and marinate a minimum of 8 hours, I recommend 12 to 14 hours.

Once the chicken has marinated, drain off the marinade. Place the chicken on a cookie sheet and pat the skin dry with paper towels. Rub the skin of teh chicken with extra virgin olive oil. This will allow for the skin to brown up nicely in the cooker. Shake on some kosher salt and black pepper. Sprinkle on some fresh chopped rosemary. That's it teh chicken is ready for the cooker.

Pre-heat your cooker to 300-350 degrees. In this video I'm cooking on the Scottsdale by Arizona BBQ Outfitters. I cooked this recipe over oak lump charcoal and a oak hardwood fire.

Once the cooker is heated, place the chicken rib side down on oiled grates. Cook with the lid down until the internal temp of the chicken reaches 169 degrees. The safe zone on chciken is a minimum of 165 degrees internal temp.

Once the chicken has reached temp you can start the garlic potatoes while the chicken rests. In this cook I'm cooking on a Lodge cast iron skillet heated to 375 degrees. Once the skillet is at temp, pour in 3 tbsp of cannola or peanut oil. Once the oil has heated add 8-10 cubed red potatoes. Cook the potatoes for about 5 minutes then add a thick slice of red onion that has been cut up into 1/2" wide pieces. Add 1 tbsp garlic, 1 tsp red pepper flake and pepper to tatse. Cook another 2 minutes then add a sliced up stock of green onion. Continue cooking untill the potatoes are to your liking. I like mine crispy on the edges. Yum!

Once the potatoes are done remove them from the heat and place them into a serving bowl. You may now take the potatoes and chicken  into the kitchen to preparee your plates. The chicken should have a nice crispy skin with good color. The meat should be fully cooked and very juicy. The flavor should have a slight hint of orange. The flavor will not be an "in your face" orange flavor. Taht is not what I was going for. Plate it up by placing a 1/2 chicken on each plate with some Garlic Red potatoes. Garnish with green onion and serve. 

That's it folks. It's a quick and tasty cook resulting in chciken with perfect skin, color and texture. Enjoy!
