Steps

1
Rub chicken all over with barbecue rub. Fire up smoker or grill to 225°F (107°C), adding chunks of smoking wood when at temperature. When wood is ignited and producing smoke, place chicken in smoker or grill, skin side up. Smoke until an instant-read thermometer reads 160°F (71°C) when inserted into thickest part of thigh, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Remove from smoker and let cool completely, about 1 hour.
2
While chicken is cooling, mix together mayonnaise, celery, scallions, lemon juice, vinegar, paprika, hot sauce, and celery seeds in a small bowl to make the dressing.
3
Pull meat from skin and bones and roughly chop; discard skin and bones. Place meat in a large bowl and pour in dressing. Stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in refrigerator for up to 3 days.
