Wood chips, soaked and scattered over a fire (or put in a smoker box on a gas grill), create woodsy, fragrant smoke that permeates a chicken as it cooks, flavoring every inch of the meat. Here, the chicken is placed in a cider-and-herb brine before grilling. The result is a deeply seasoned, moist and tender bird with an irresistible smokiness.
