Hey foodies, welcome back to my kitchen! Today, I'm cooking up a mouthwatering Herbaceous Smoked Whole Chicken infused with Mediterranean and Southern flavors, paired perfectly with a refreshing Citrus Infusion.
In this video, I'll show you how to prepare a tantalizing herbaceous rub featuring a blend of Mediterranean herbs and Southern spices, giving my chicken an irresistible aroma and flavor. Then, I'll fire up the smoker and let my chicken cook low and slow, allowing the smoky flavors to infuse every juicy bite.
As my chicken smokes to perfection, I'll mix up a simple yet refreshing Citrus Infusion, combining freshly squeezed orange juice with fizzy club soda. Optionally, I'll add some lemon zest to the mixture for an extra burst of citrus flavor. This citrusy blend will be poured into the ceramic stand that the chicken will sit on during cooking, infusing it with moisture and a hint of tangy sweetness.
Once everything is ready, I'll plate up my Herbaceous Smoked Whole Chicken and pour myself a glass of Sparkling Orange Juice for the ultimate Mediterranean-Southern feast. Trust me, this dish is sure to impress even the pickiest eaters!
