Loaf Pan Chicken with North Carolina BBQ Rub
This Loaf Pan Chicken recipe is a variation from my Smokin’ Southern BBQ cookbook, where I wanted to capture the essence of classic Southern barbecue with a twist. Inspired by the legendary Big Bob Gibson, this method brings all the smoky, savory flavors you love while keeping the chicken tender and juicy. Cooking the chicken in a loaf pan isn’t just a clever trick—it’s a game-changer. The pan captures all those flavorful juices, turning them into a rich, smoky bath for the bird. For this version, I’ve swapped the original spice blend for my Revolution Barbecue North Carolina BBQ Rub, featuring the perfect balance of molasses, mustard, and celery seed. Whether you’re using hickory, apple, or charcoal, this chicken comes out perfect every time.
