crowd-pleaser.\u00a0 Combine the main course of Smoked Chicken with Sausage Links, for variety, and add your favorite vegetables such as Grilled Asparagus and Mashed Potatoes and Salad.<\/p>\n<h2>Chicken &amp; Ingredients<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>4 Whole Chickens<\/li>\n<li>6 Sausage Links<\/li>\n<li>Seasoning<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Preparation<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>The\u00a0 meat is prepared on a charcoal-fueled smoker.\u00a0 Split the 4 Chickens into 8 Chicken Halves.<\/li>\n<li>Clean the chicken and season liberally with your favorite seasoning.\u00a0 I prefer a combination of all-season and a Cajun seasoning.<\/li>\n<li>Smoke the chicken and sausage for approximately six (6) hours at 220 degrees.\u00a0 Smoked chicken will not appear to be fully cooked, even thought it is.\u00a0 If you can twist the drumstick out easily, it is &#8220;fall off the bone&#8221; ready.<\/li>\n<li>Each full-grown adult will eat approximately 1\/4 of a chicken, so split the chicken halves into fourths.\u00a0 Combined with the sausage, you can feed a small army of approximately 20 adults.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><a

cook.<\/li>\n<li>Thirty (30) minutes before kickoff, place the asparagus on your gas grille on a low setting of approximately 300 degrees for approximately 30 minutes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><a

target=\"_blank\">Fresh Garden Salad<\/a> link for guidance.<\/p>\n<p>The rest is up to you.\u00a0 Use an easy third vegetable like Mashed Potatoes from potato buds.\u00a0 If you follow the package directions exactly, they will turn out great.\u00a0 If you want to spice it up a little, combine the potatoes with sauteed onions and garlic, topped with grated cheddar cheese for Garlic Mashed Potatoes.<\/p>\n<p>Corn on the Cob will also be a good starch if Mashed Potatoes are not for you.\u00a0 Some of the biggest corn I have ever seen is currently available at Hobby Lobby, but it is a little dry.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/52sundaydinners.com\/recipes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/048.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-417\"
