George McCall Senior and Junior's Poultry Rub
From the American Royal Barbecue contestant George McCall Senior and Junior
Friday, October 3, 2003

Nearly 400 teams compete in 4 events at the American Royal, the largest barbecue contest in the world. Father and son team of George McCall (senior and junior) shared their secrets for a poultry rub.

Ingredients

1 whole chicken (3 1/2 to 4 pounds)

6 teaspoon paprika

2 teaspoon ground black pepper

2 teaspoon celery salt

2 teaspoon sugar

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon dry mustard

1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

zest of 1 to 2 minced and dried lemons

Directions

1. In small bowl, mix paprika, pepper, celery salt, sugar, garlic powder, dry mustard, pepper and lemon zest together.

2. Apply evenly to chicken, inside and out, and massage thoroughly. Prior to putting in a smokehouse-style cooker with closed lid, let chickens set at room temperature for about 30 minutes. A good time to do this would be while getting your fire started. Once your fire is good and hot, apply chicken, and cook for about 3 1/2 to 4 hours. Chicken should reach an internal temperature of 180 to 185 degrees.
