Directions
Preheat a smoker to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Add a chunk of cherry wood, if you like.
Massage the rosemary, thyme, salt, garlic powder, and pepper into the butter until evenly distributed.
Lay the chicken flat on the cooking rack, skin side-up. Loosen the skin from the chicken.
Rub 3/4 of the seasoned butter under the skin, and the remaining butter on top of the skin.
Place the chicken in the smoker and cook for 45 minutes, or until the juices run clear and the internal temperature is 165 degrees F (75 degrees C).
Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before serving.
