Olive Smoked Chickens w/ Blues Hog Tennessee Red
Options

Had two chickens to smoke up tonight. Halved them, smoked them with olive wood and finished with Blues Hog Tennessee Red. The sauce is fantastic and is our new favorite for chicken. It can be found at World Market. The Blues Hog Original is too sweet on its own IMHO, but the Tennessee Red is spot on.

Damn fine looking chicken. Try mixing the Original sauce and the Red sauce 50/50 and see what you think my friend.

Looks great man. I haven't tried the red but I will be on the lookout. I tried the blues hog original and I treated it as BBQ sauce concentrate and mixed it with apple cider vinegar or a vinegar based sauce.Which came first the chicken or the egg? I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

Hell ya! Love the sweet kiss of smoke you get from olive wood and a big fan of the Blues Hog. Great looking chicken brother!Sandy Springs & Dawsonville Ga

Looks great. The Red is too much vinegar for me. I stick with the original.Aledo, Texas

Chicken looks better than anything I have ever cooked. I will take that all day long. Gotta ask, how was that olive wood to smoke with?"Knowledge is Good" - Emil Faber

Thx fellas! @YukonRon , it is an awesome wood to smoke with. It adds a nice kiss of sweet smoke that isn't overpowering at all. It's my go-to for chicken these days. My wife isn't big on smoked chicken usually, but she liked the olive smoke a lot too. I highly recommend it.

That looks like chicken perfection right there.

Thx @Foghorn ! @fishlessman , I used Caribeque Honey Heat . A little sweet and a little heat. Complimented the sauce and smoke nicely.

I agree with you on the sauce. The original is almost like a BBQ sauce jelly. We love the Red though. Chicken looks great!

Looks amazing as usual @Dyal_SC. What cook temp did you smoke the chicken? I've been doing whole birds at 225-250 with apricot wood lately and really like the taste and texture. I have some olive in the wood stash that I need to try. This may be the perfect cook for that.L x2, M, S, Mini and a Blackstone 36. She says I have enough now....eggAddict from MN!

Thx @PASmoke and @minniemoh!
@minniemoh , I smoked these at around a 350 dome temp until the breasts registered 160. Just over an hour probably. I gotta try apricot wood sometime myself! -
That looks amazing. I've never considered olive wood before, but I just ordered some on Amazon thanks to this post. Thanks for the tip.

Working on some olive smoked quarters for dinner. Thanks for the inspiration @Dyal_SC. I've had some in my stash for 4 years. Never knew what to do with it. Seasoned with Yardbird and Everglades Chicken.

Loved the smoke. Seasoning and mop went well too. Some of the best chicken I've ever made. I'll be doing this again soon.
