Ingredients:
1 Chicken
3 Tbsp. Kosher Salt
1 Gallon Water
White Soda, Ginger Ale or Seven Up
6 Tbsp. Olive Oil
4 Tbsp. Red Cooking Wine
3 Tbsp. Soy Sauce
2 Cloves Minced Garlic
1 Tsp. Salt
1 Tbsp. Ground Ginger
Apple Wood Chips or Pecan Chips

Directions:
Soak an average chicken in a solution of three tablespoons kosher salt to one-gallon water for an hour or so. Rinse and dry the chicken and place on a chicken setter containing half a can of white soda, ginger ale or seven up. Make a rub consisting of six tablespoons olive oil, four tablespoons red cooking wine tablespoons soy sauce, 2 cloves minced garlic (already it smells good) 1 tsp. salt, and one tablespoon ground ginger. Blend this mixture and rub it all over the chicken, inside and out. If there is any left make a pouch inside the breast skin and pour it there. Put some apple wood chips or pecan chips (soaked) on the charcoal. Put the chicken setter and all on the fire, close the lid and bring the temperature to 250 F degrees. Cook slowly about two hours or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F. This is very good.
