This is my first shot at this at making the Huli-Huli chicken. I just put the chicken in the smoker at 235 degrees, I will post once it gets done!

Add mixture to the brining bucket and then add an additional 96 oz. of water. Place in refrigerator overnight to cool.
Brine the chicken for 4 hours, remove from brine and rinse, pat dry. Next rub chicken with mustard and coat with BBQ seasoning. Place in the refrigerator until time to smoke.
