• Close lid and cook for 1 hour, then add 2 more handfuls of soaked wood chips on the fire.
• Drizzle 1/2 the Aunt Sue’s® honey over the bird, and replace the foil.
• Close the lid of the grill, and continue cooking 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until internal temperature reaches 180 F in the thickest part of the thigh.
