Whole Smoked Chicken

[hvyhaul]

Quiet day here at home, so I smoked one of three chickens The Wife bought at Costco the other day.

Simple approach, Montreal Chicken Spice / Roasted Garlic and Peppers dusting on the bird. A mix of Apple and Gourmet blend pellets in the hopper. Super Smoked at 180* for an hour, cranked it up to 375* to crisp the skin and bring internal to temp.



Nice plump and juicy bird, there's some truly great lunch sandwiches on the way if I can keep myself from going back for more.

Did one indirect on the charcoal last week, Canadian tire has oak chips from crown Royale barrels- turned out really well.

I put leeks and apple juice under the bird in that pan, charcoal has changed my life

I might be a huge fan of pellet Smokers, but I still love my charcoal.

Ready for Summer 2022.
