Instructions
Step 1
Before you smoke chicken, you need to attend to the purchase of a smokehouse. For this, the old Bixa, which was previously used to sterilize syringes, is ideal. If it is not possible to find such a device, use any thick-walled and roomy pan that you will not mind converting into a smokehouse.
Step 2
Before smoking, wash the carcass, rub it with a mixture of salt, seasoning and liquid smoke. You can use curry, black pepper, garlic. It is best to leave the chicken in the refrigerator for a day, but the carcass pickled in the morning will turn out to be no less tasty in the evening.
Step 3
Place a layer of sawdust a few centimeters thick on the bottom of the smokehouse and place a wire rack on it, on which you will place the chicken.
Step 4
Cover the pot with a lid and put it on fire. It is best to place a weight on the lid to prevent steam from escaping from the pan. Any weight can be used as a load, from a small pancake from a dumbbell to an adjustable wrench.
Step 5
Cook the chicken for at least 2 hours, the cooking time depends on the size of the carcass. If you want to reduce it, then you must first bake the carcass for half an hour, and only then smoke it.
