Smoked Country Chicken Recipe


Smoked Country Chicken Recipe

Country Chicken goes wonderfully with mashed or French fried potatoes, coleslaw and peas.

Try smoking a mixture of onions and mushrooms in the last hour with the chicken for a nice side dish. Or slowly sauté smoked onions and mushrooms until translucent and tender. Add flour and chicken broth for a great tasting gravy.
