Instructions
Combine the salt, garlic powder, pepper and cayenne; sprinkle over chicken.
Prepare grill for indirect heat, using a drip pan.

Place chicken on grill rack over drip pan.
Grill, covered, over indirect medium heat for 1-1/2 to 2 hours or until a thermometer reads 180°.
Combine apple butter and barbecue sauce; baste chicken occasionally during the last 30 minutes.
Remove chicken from grill; cover and let stand for 10 minutes.
Remove chicken from can before carving.
