Kansas City BBQ chicken
serves 6-12 people.(from: www.Doityourself.com/)[p]6 chicken halves
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbl. lemon juice
3/4 cup olive oil
BBQ sauce
12-oz. can beer (optional) [p]Marinade:
1/2 cup olive oil
1 tbl. thyme
2 tbl. basil
salt and pepper
Wash chicken, pat dry and marinade overnight in fridge.
Prior to grilling let chicken reach room temp.[p]Put soaked hickory chips in with the lump.
Baste chicken frequently with the oil, garlic, lemon, sauce and beer mixture.[p]smoke @ 225 degrees indirect for approximately 2 to 2 1/2 hours. [p]note:

the BBQ with the sauce on the side.[p]
