Loaf-Pan Chicken

Directions

1. 1
   Build a fire (wood or a combination of charcoal and wood) for indirect cooking by situating the coals on only one side of the cooker, leaving the other side void.
2. 2
   In a small bowl, stir together the applesauce and Worcestershire.
3. 3
   Holding the chicken over a 9 x 5 x 3-inch loaf pan, pour the mixture over the chicken, making sure the chicken is thoroughly coated both inside and out.
4. 4
   Let the excess liquid drip into the loaf pan.
5. 5
   In another small bowl, combine the dry rub ingredients and mix well.
6. 6
   Coat the entire chicken, both inside and out, with the dry rub.
7. 7
   Place the chicken into the loaf pan, breast side up.
8. 8
   When the grill temperature reaches approximately 300F, place the loaf pan on the grill grate away from the coals, close the cover, and cook for 2 hours, or until the internal temperature of the chicken thigh reaches 175F.
9. 9
   Let the chicken cool a bit in the pan before cutting into serving pieces.
