This is my very own twist on smoked Drunken Chicken and even better than beer can chicken. This is a recipe for super slow smoking an entire chicken, wrapping it in bacon, and injecting it with a special Beer n Butter sauce. Time depends on size of foul but should be done in approx 4-6 hours.

(For 6 people)

4 pound Whole Chicken
2 ounces Beer Butter Injection
1/2 pound Bacon
1/2 Box Stove Top Stuffing
2 tablespoons EVOO
1 tablespoon Oregano

1. Rinse Whole chicken with water and set aside to rest
2. Make one batch of Beer N Butter Poultry Sauce
3. Inject chicken with approx 1/2 of the warm beer and butter sauce
