I fix a whole chicken and used the dry rub and my own BBQ sauce. I let the chicken set for 5 hours with the dry rub and then cooked over indirect heat for 1 1/4 hours. I took it off the grill and covered with foil and let rest for 30 min. Awesome!!!! No sauce was needed. I also cooked squash with butter and 1 T. of dry rub with butter. Fantastic. Paula, this recipe rocks.
