I’ve used numerous rubs but was curious if anyone has used just a vinegar spray application periodically during a long smoke? Is this the way a lot of fundraiser type smoked chickens are done. The wife is wanting me to do this for Easter because I use too much spicy seasonings. We’re having a good size crowd she’s convinced I need to keep it simple. I’ve done smoked chickens with a homemade white sauce marinade that is good. Just seeing what’s out there I might try.

I like to brine chicken with even amounts of water and white vinegar. A table spoon of salt and black pepper per cup of vinegar and a bottle of Johnny Fleeman steak marinade. I use more vinegar than water. I personally like the flavor. I usually do leg quarters and brine for 24 hours. I then use the brine to spritz the quarters as I’m cooking.

Im probably ending up quartering them prior to smoking. Make it easier is what I’ve been told. Thought if spatchcocking then but gonna go ahead and quarter them. Now I wished I bought quarters. LOL.

All great ideas and I appreciate it. Gonna have to do several cooks over the next few weeks and figure out what I really like. Probably go with homemade white sauce marinade. It’s very similar to several mentioned except mayonnaise is used in place of vegetable oil. I’m sure it’s whild bill approved.

Do you bring brine back to a boil before using as a baste ? Definitely needs to or reserve some for basting. Dad used to use water vinegar sliced onion lemons pepper butter as a baste on chicken halves

I like your effort, but I will take a hard pass. If that’s to much heat just use black pepper.

I think what he is saying is that the original post kind of sounds like you use the brine the chicken was actually sitting in to spritz, thus contaminating it. I’m sure you don’t do that though.

Exactly my point. Reads as if basting with used brine and unsafe unless heated thoroughly before using to baste

Sorry for the confusion, I used a reserve for basting.

Looks good, but I am way south of the Mason-Dixon Line, so I don’t know of this white sauce you speak of. White sauce is actually known for being an Alabama thing.
