- Step 4: Add the spatchcocked chicken to the recteq and allow it to cook for about 90 minutes or until the breast has reached 165ºF and the legs/thighs have reached 180ºF.
- Step 5: Remove the chicken from the grill and allow to rest 20-30 minutes.
- Step 6: Remove the skin from the chicken, shred the meat into a large mixing bowl, and season with 2 tablespoons of Ron's Screamin' Pig Rub.
- Step 7: In a small mixing bowl, add both BBQ sauces and mix well. Place 1/2 cup of the shredded chicken on the bottom of the sesame seed bun and drizzle BBQ sauce over the chicken and top with a bun.
- Step 8: Repeat until all buns are used.
