Smoked Chicken | Sweet and Spicy with the Pit Barrel Cooker 

Love my Cowboy Kent Rollins vids! I do!

One of the best channels on utube. Great job! Who wouldn't like some CKR chicken.

Great chicken Kent, I like your rub mix, looks delicious, and a big thank u for all the veterans in our great country.

Thanks for the birthday present cowboy Kent! Have smoked many a yardbird but have always used my own home made BBQ sauce. Have never tried a rub but will do this rub as it sounds very tasty. I make my own charcoal, mostly oak and hickory but some maple as well. Turned sixty four today so though I have a neighbor with chickens where I buy my eggs I could in theory steal one but have gotten a bit slower at running and would likely get caught! Will have to wait until I go to town and buy one I guess. Any day you put up a new video is a wonderful day! My hat is off to you and the lady. You are both a National Treasure. Many thanks from East Ky.

One hour after release Cowboy Kent already has 1.7k thumbs up. I TOLD YA! I know how to pick a RU-vid WINNER 🥇🏅 Cowboy Kent Rollins is a WINNER 🏆😁🤗🤠

My son is about to turn 21, and I'm gonna take him out to his first bar. Now it's been A LONG TIME since I've been to a bar, but I'm gonna use some of your dance moves that night! Thank you Mr.,and Mrs. ROLLINS! I'LL BE HEAR TO SEE THAT 1 MILLION MARK!

Labor day weekend coming up...Yep I'll be doing this one!!

Us veterans wont forget you! You are worth serving for...

“... his squawking mechanism.” 😂😂

True blessing to find you.

Thank you so much Cowboy Kent & Shan (and the man with the ceegar), just did some chicken with the rub and had our neighbors over a feast! From a USAF vet who appreciates you doing this for us!

My grandpa didn't have a tooth in his head. I don't ever recall seeing him eat BBQ. Every type of meat I ever saw him eat was fried, and he lived to be 90. I guarantee you that he would've loved your smoked chicken. You've inspired me to smoke one up. Right after I do a tri tip roast on the smoker. Beef is number one! I promise you chicken will be next. Take care and be safe. Vaughn

What a great video! I truly appreciate you taking the time to show how you cooked Edna! I thank all those veterans that are out there along with myself who's a veteran!

Kent, I'm a cook from southern Brazil (the mountains of Serra Gaúcha), and I fell in love with this channel the moment I found it. It's maybe my favorite cooking channel. The calming nature of the combination of simplicity, good taste, your accent and the humanization of food keep me coming back. I don't have much else to say but please keep making these videos.

That barrel method looks pretty effective! I like the spices you used. Edna looked great

Man Kent you cant do any wrong with a PIT BARREL period I have had mine for a DECADE now love it Noah is a real good guy to deal with Made in STRASBOURG COLORADO

Definitely a wonderful recipe, I'll try it as soon as i can! Thanks a lot, greetings from France!😊🇫🇷

No need for ya, to thanking us for watching. The thank ya’s belong to you and Shannon for the great entertaining videos and learning lessons. I am a veteran and I would like to salute you and Shannon, and a tip of my hat to both of y’all for being such great Americans. Thank ya, for always put n’ a smile on my face. God Bless ya all.

Definitely going to have to try this!! Looks amazing!!! Take care, stay safe and God bless!!!

Good job on yard bird. Boy I remember in about about 68 when I was 5 I hated holding that bird to cut his head off. What memories. No running water or toilet. We blessed today brother.

Love the background scenery, the music the cooking, great entertainer kent, thank you all for sharing you, with us, Gods love to you all

Looks juicy and delicious! Can’t wait to try it. Thank you Kent and Shannon for making another awesome video.!

Love that you included the pets and that you recognized our servicemen. God bless you and your wife.

Perfect Timing!!! Thank you Kent Rollins!!!

Thanks Cowboy Kent. Shoutout from Morocco, North Africa.

Great video, thanks for making me smile. 😀💕

I just found your channel today and I subscribed to you as well. My late Father served during WW2 and he would have loved your channel. We owe our vets everything. God Bless You and keep going.

Love your videos, also love my pit barrel cooker. Been using the PBC for a couple years now.

It’s Wednesday 🙏🙏,, this run needs to be a Kent and Shan original,, definitely gonna use it this weekend,, thank y’all so much for such fun times and so much LOVE for our country and the people that protect us ,, God Bless y’all and as always thanks cowboy your the best on U tube ,, happy trails

These are truly some great videos. Always entertaining. Keep them coming and God bless you both.

I so love the bloopers! People don't know how much work you put into doing this!

I'm going try this recipe. I love his fried chicken recipe!

I wish everyone could see you cook, the world needs more Kent. God bless you.

Guess i'm buying a pit barrel smoker then. Because i need too taste that chicken! Thank you for inspiring me.

Kent, love your show. I have a recipe for you that is primarily from the ILL / IND area. Pork tenderloin sandwich. You can find a few examples on YT, but it's basic. Take a pork tenderloin, cut a 3/4" slice and pound it out to twice the size of a hamburger bun. Salt / pepper, dredge in egg / flour and fry. Serve with onion, mustard, lettuce etc. on a bun. Pork in ILL is almost as good as the beef. I think you're viewers might like it. Good luck.

That rub is great!!! LOVE ur video’s

Good to see you both and the puppy dogs , God bless you all .

Luv your videos, u r smart, funny nd greatful. God bless you nd everyone 😇

One of my favorite parts of a real Mexican family restaurant, the mariachi band, and the repeated chorus of la cuharacha and the chicken dance... when they were little my kids loved it, we would go every couple of weeks. Every time I hear that song it brings back a smile. Bless you and yours Kent, great video as usual.

The Beagle did not like Shannon eating. "All bites are mine!" says the Beagle.

I've been a cook for 20 years. 16 of those years to present day, have been spent on offshore oil rigs as a Campboss in charge of the catering crews. Feeding 200+ men 4x a day. 480lbs of ribeyes a week. 4,000 eggs per week, 180 lb bacon per week. 230lbs chicken per week 160lbs coffee per week. 250lbs of pork per week. Extra supplies for hurricane season. and ..well...countless rolls of toilet paper. And countless meals & memories. I've never tackled cast iron cooking in full force. I've made roux & cornbread in cast iron skillets, grilled & smoked plenty of meats over charcoal and wood, but never dutch oven cooking. Watching you and Shannon these past few months has really inspired me to up my game and take more interest in cast iron cooking. It's fun, and taste better! I'm sure you've probably forgotten more about dutch oven cooking than I'll ever live to know or remember, but the skills, techniques, & experience you folks have, has taught me a lot about what I didn't know or know how to do with cast iron. Ya'll are humble, smart, and ya'll definitely love what you do. Sometimes starvation makes good food good. lol. But the best ingredient to make it better than good, is love. And that's exactly what ya'll put into every meal my wife & I have seen ya'll make. Thank ya'll for everything you & Shannon do Cowboy Kent. We just bought the cookbook and are very excited to try out some of those fine recipes and tips. And read those tales from the trail. Take care and keep those videos coming & we'll see ya'll down the RU-vid trail. ~Ryan & Chx

Now that looks like a good yard bird for sure Mr. Kent!

It was an honor to serve this country! Thank you Kent for honoring us vets. Love your videos and recipes, keep up the good work my friend.

I thought the wind blew in Idaho, but Oklahoma has us beat

Thank you Rollins family for sharing another winner with us. Yes Sir, I do love me some of that there yard bird. Kent, you're an amazing man and Shay, I love how you pan your camera around the Homestead to show us the beauty you and Kent are privileged to own. Blessings to you and yours. Stan

Yummy, I love chicken🍗🍖🍽 and yes, my neighbors do have chickens🐓🐔🐣

Thank you Cowboy Kent. Your barbecue chicken look delicious. You and Mrs. Shanna have a great evening.

A pretty ol' girl indeed, looks tasty! And I like that smoker too, I could get so MUCH meat in there!

As usual a great video. Glad I’m still here to watch. Had quadruple bypass 6 weeks ago. Was able to watch a few videos right after surgery. Though not terribly hungry, Cowboy Kent was the first I watched. Had to keep up with what you’d been doing. God bless Kent and keep cooking.

Wow, over 1500 likes the first day of posting. I knew Kent was awesome :)

Hello Cowboy Kent. I enjoyed this video so much, because Labor Day weekend is near, and just about EVERYONE is barbecuing this weekend. This dish will make people happy. Take care, have a great day.🇺🇸 Much respect to Edna. ❤

Y'all need a I like my food to bite back shirt, I'd order that.

Love my Pit Barrel. It's a rib making machine but what it does when I'm smoking a whole chicken is just magic.

11:00 Edna the Chicken Dance RIP Yard-bird

There's not many things that calms me down after a stressful at work like your videos. Thanks Kent and Shan!!

*sniff* i wish i could cook like cowboy it looks SOO TASTY thanks for the idea ima get to nabbin some of my neighbors birds

This is a fun guy to watch..makes my grilling super duper fun :)

Thx for advice sir now I’ll be a expert at stealing chickens

Love the PBC. I like the fact that you run lump in it. Lump always has a better flavor and less ash.

Need a lesson on your Cowboy chicken dance.🤣😂

Watching your videos reminds me of how much I miss Oklahoma and being around horses.

love the video especially love the chicken dance took me back to my childhood when my grandpa would play it on the accordion while we danced thanks guys!!!!!

I love seeing new a Kent Rollins video when I get home from class. God bless ya Kent, Shan, and dont forget the beag!

Love my Pit Barrel smoker. Using this Labor day smoking some brisket.

Really like watching you and thanks for recognizing our veterans. I wish more people would. Keep them coming Kent 👍👍

My wife and most of my family is grossed out by the little Pin Feathers. The tip that your momma used to do by burning them off, is the best tip that I heard in a long time. I'm definitely gonna use it. Thanks and a Great Video Cowboy Kent.

Mr. Rollins, I have begun telling the Chefs I encounter during the day to check you out. One guy today was baking sweet potato corn bread. The boys in Cleveland have been shifting toward southern style cooking. I know one good ol boy who loves to hunt and cook rabbit. He has traveled the world and competes in chef competitions. He serves the wealthy elite, but he is down to earth.

I showed my dad a few of your videos. He was a cook for USAF for 20 years, and he loves you. Ya got a new sub, bud.

3 day weekend. No work. No bills. Definitely going to try to make this. Got my mouth watering just thinking about it.

DADGUMIT that looks good. Thanks guys from Crackertown,Florida

Thank you so much..... great recipe, easy, and Shan’s videotography is fantastic!

I love the cowboy cooking! Love the channel! As a vet, I love the appreciation!

Wonderful!!!!!!! The Duke just loves all of you! Not just about the Great Eats either...Hi to The Beag! Guess what, they are issuing my Passport! Not giving up on my Dream for a Teepee Vacation! Best Regards to all of you! Lady Shannon, your photography is awesome! Cheers!

My friend , so good to hear from you , brother , learned so much technique on the ole smoker ,from you ,and thank you for that ....but you seem an awesome guy !

Hi Kent & Shannon, Kent you and your happy dance,I love it. I tell people all the time about you two. You are a blessing to all of us who watch you. Also I love how you always honer our vets. Sir it's because of people like you that make life a wonderful thing. I used to cook all the time. Since watching you in the last year, I have went back to doing what I used to do. What I'm about to say is not boasting. I have started cooking again for the purpose of I love it. Since then I have cooked at church for the purpose of we are planting a new church in Oelwein IA. Also I will be doing a cook out at a church for leading people to growing relation ship with Jesus Christ on 9-21-19. Then another one on 9-28-19 for a wedding for some folks at my church. Because of your inspiration at 60 years old I have decided to get back in the game. May God bless you and all that you know. Don.

great sense of humor you got there. love your show indeed, cowboy!!

Looks delish and I LOVE chicken..actually used to raise some with my mom and grandpa back in the day..never for food but for the eggs..I've been looking into getting a hobby and the thought of raising chickens again has crossed my mind..little nervous about doing it though..lots of coyotes and wild dogs around where I live so..yeah..can't exactly do the ground coop I'd like to, have to do like my grandpa and do a raised off the ground coop.

Another GREAT recipe video Kent and Shannon. I look forward to y'alls videos every week. I can't wait to try this recipe. I would've tried it this weekend for Labor Day, but I've had a request from my wife and family for my Hickory Smoked Beer-Butt Chicken over lump coals. Thank you both so much for all of the time that is put in to the videos, and y'all's willingness to help teach us. My family and I live in Roanoke, VA and I have people asking me "Where did you learn how to cook like that?", and "Can you teach me how to cook like that?" I answer them all by telling them about y'all's videos, and website.... My neighborhood smells great Everytime I get the grill(s) hot. I smoke using Hickory & or Mesquite chips with hardwood lump coals, and or gas grilling with Hickory or Mesquite chips in a foil pan. Thanks again, Bacon.

What a gentleman. Thank you, sir!

Awesome job

Perfect timing you two. Hubby and Son both have BD's Labor Day Weekend. The Pit Barrel I ordered as a shared gift just came in today. Have ordered rubs, cookbook and apron from you. Thank you so much for all the videos and love you put into them.

Happy Dance Kent!!! Awesome! God Bless!!

I've got a PBC and it's the single best backyard cooker/smoker I've ever purchased. Easy to use and everything comes out perfect.

I love smoked chicken, looks sooooooo good. My mouth is watering.

Iv watched yall for a while now and i get a kick out of your videos and show them off to all my buddys

My God you have kill it now Mister Rolling Gee!! God bless you for this vid.

Thank s Edna

Another great recipe. Love the bloopers real too

Another great video Kent. Thank you and God Bless you sir. Tell Edna thanks for her participation, she played her part well

Looks like such a beautiful day there!!! God bless you Mr. Kent!

Semper Fi, Kent! Looks awesome and oh so easy! 🇺🇸

Great Video as always.... You and Shan are the best !

I mixed up a rub similar to this for smoking beef and pork, and it was delish... I'll be adding cumun to it for chicken now. Is never used smoked paprika or ancho chilies till I tried something you made and now I'm hooked.

Doing my first cook on the PBJ I ordered and received in just 31 hours last week. Ribs today and a duck for thanksgiving. I’m pretty sure y’all were the ones who introduced me to the Pit Barrel Cooker Company

Best from California. It is the Best channel.

I loved my Pit Barrel Cooker so much I had to get me a second one it’s even better than the first one I got much more improved and they actually have a chicken and turkey hanger out now which is much better than the hooks. You’ll never go wrong when you use the Pit Barrel Cooker, ribs are the best I’ve ever eaten! A lot of competition Smokers an BBQ’ers are using it on the circuit and winning with the PBC. Glad you found it!!

smoked chicken is quite possible one of my favorite things to eat. I have a Bradley smoker that i do up some chicken several times a year with. Haven't decided what my favorite wood is yet. Every time i make it, i say "That was the best wood!" Alder is amazing on chicken. Apple is nice if going light on the smoke, as is mesquite. Cherry's good too.

Just made this tonight. Awesome. Thank you so much.

Delicious to be sure! You Mr. Rollings are quite the light of my evening (watching this video at 11pm) Not having a smoker or a garden for that matter I still use your ideas and recipes more than you know. As always - greetings from Denmark. Have a fantastic and splendid day!

You always seem to cook things that make my mouth water. The chicken looked great. I could almost smell it.
