How to make Smoked Chicken:

• Remove the vertebra, by cutting along either side, so the chicken can be laid as flat as possible.
• Pat dry.
• In a Ziploc bag, combine the rest of the ingredients and mix well.
• Put the chicken in the bag, and squeeze out as much air as possible before you seal it.
• Make sure the chicken is well coated with the spice mixture.
• Let marinate in the refrigerator until ready to cook (at least 1/2 hour).
• Pre-heat the oven to 220 degrees.
• Pour about an inch of water into the roasting pan.
• Sprinkle a few dashes of liquid smoke into the water. Lightly oil the roasting rack.
• When the oven reaches 220 degrees, put the chicken, laid out as flat as possible, on the roasting rack.
• Cook for about 3 hours, or until done.
• Smoked Chicken is ready to serve.
• Serve with raita and salad.
