Full Chicken Bake-off: Challenge | Baked vs Smoked – Neutral Judge, Recipe, Process + blooper 🤪

Salaam,
Having family over for Canadian thanksgiving we decided to have a little fun. Not being huge fans of Turkey, we decided to cook two kinds of chicken for a little competition. While things were competitive, we supported and guided each other throughout which I guess brings out the Canadian in us 😉

Hope you guys enjoy, let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
