Ingredients
- 3 pounds chicken
- 2 12 ounce smoked sausage (comes in a horseshoe shaped ring)
- 40 ounces BBQ sauce
Instructions
- Heat coals in charcoal chimney.
- Add heated coals to Dutch oven. Use about 15 coals on the bottom and 10-15 coals on the lid.
- Place chicken in the Dutch oven.
- Place the lid on top and check occasionally.
- Cook until chicken is white and cooked through (DO NOT OVERCOOK).
- While chicken is cooking, cut the sausage into 1" slices. Set aside.
- Drain all the chicken broth from the oven. Add the sausage and BBQ sauce. Add enough to completely drench the meat.
- Cook another 10-15 minutes, covered. Check the internal temperature of the chicken. The chicken is ready when it reaches 165 degrees.
- Remove from heat, serve, and enjoy!

Notes
- The chicken can be cooked as full chicken breasts, or cut into smaller bite-size pieces for easier eating. When the chicken is cut into smaller pieces, it cooks faster. So if you choose this option, check it sooner so it doesn't overcook.
- Any BBQ sauce can be used in this recipe. We prefer Bull's Eye Original. Bull's Eye BBQ sauce is gluten-free which makes it a good option when serving a group.
- We like to serve the chicken straight from the Dutch oven. Keep the lid on the Dutch oven after serving to keep the chicken warm.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. If camping, allow the leftovers to cool before storing them in a cooler.
