Spicy Chicken
Basting Sauce
Comments
Most poultry has the tendency to 1.) dry out easily, and 2.) take on a "smoky" flavor that an be too strong if you are using heavy smoke. The best way to prevent this is to baste your chicken frequently ... but not too often ... as it will allow the heat to escape and delay the entire cooking process.
