Ingredients
Method
Techniques
  • salt
Season the chicken with salt, about as much as it needs in the end.
  • liquid smoke
Coat with straight liquid smoke and leave to brine/marinate for about an hour.
  • chicken leg quarters
  • rub
Apply the rub after the marinade (so the powders do not clump); add no more salt.
  • water
Bake at the same low oven temperature as the brisket, uncovered, with a little water in the pan for steam.
Cook until it pulls apart, about six hours total.
Pull the chicken with fingers or two forks, feeling for cartilage to discard. Serve with the barbecue sauce.
