" Evil" Chicken
"I modified this recipe from a tea smoked chicken recipe in one of my cookbooks. My husband dubbed it "evil" chicken because he couldn't stop eating it. I find it turns out best when you use a whole chicken. However you can substitute boneless breasts. I serve with steamed rice and broccoli."

The instructions are not very clear on how to use the tea and more specifically what type of black tea. We had tea leaf stuck all over the chicken and it made it inedible. The sauce was okay and probably would have been better without the tea leaves everywhere.
