Orange Spice Rub
1/3 cup turbinado sugar
2 tsp orange peel
1/2 tsp mace

1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cayenne

Stuffing
1 large orange, peeled & segmented

The night before smoking, rub the bird with the juice of a fresh orange followed by the Orange Spice Rub. Refrigerate overnight. One hour before smoking, stuff the bird with orange segments and onions and a 1/4 cup of Grand Marnier. Mop about every half hour during smoking. Smoke the chicken about four to six hours, or until drumsticks move easily.

During the last hour of smoking mop with a mixture of half above mop and half Grand Marnier.
