Also chilling the chicken reduces bacteria growth. Optimal temperature is below 40'F. Once chilled use a 1 gallon freezer bag and put chicken in it and 1 whole bottle of salad dressing. We marinate it for 3 or 4 hours and discard the marinate afterwards.
• 2. Pat chicken simi-dry after marinating, do not rinse off. Chicken will be very pink from raspberry, and wetness will be binder for chicken rub. Next sprinkle rub underneath chicken skin and on top of chicken. Tuck chicken skin underneath. At this point, if smoker is up to temp, place chicken on smoker skin side up. Smoking for 1 hour, spraying with apple juice, then turning chicken over after 1st hour. Continuing to spray every 30 minutes. After 2 hours cooking/spraying chicken, we glaze with raspberry walnut bbq sauce (see recipe next). After cooking 2 hours, chicken should be tender and moist.
