Directions:

  3. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
  4. Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
  5. Drain chicken and pat dry.
  6. Place chicken halves skin side down in a single layer on heavy large baking sheet with rim, that has been lined with aluminum foil, preferably Release foil.
  7. Brush each half with 2 tablespoons barbecue sauce.
  8. Sprinkle with 1-1/4 teaspoon of Rub.
  9. Turn halves over and repeat.
  10. Bake chicken skin sides up, basting every 20 minutes (VERY IMPORTANT) with pan juices, for about 2 hours.
  11. THIS IS WORTH THE EFFORT!
  12. If you use chicken parts, like breast, thigh or drumsticks, reduce the cooking time to 1 hour, 30 minutes-ish. And reduce cooking time even more if using a convection oven.
