Hi Jessica,
Total cooking time will vary due to the size of the chicken and the smoker you are using. I always use the cooking time we experience along with using a digital thermometer to cook until 165° for chickens.

Time to cook is incorrect. Three hours in on a Traeger smoker and chicken is at 135 degrees.

Hi Ed,
As I was brining this chicken I remembered your suggestion. I have to try dry brining. Thanks for the tips.

Try the dry brine method also. Liberally sprinkle Kosher Salt all over the bird and under the skin. I put the bird in the fridge all night and the next day I rinse off the bird. Pat dry, coat the chicken with a light coat of Olive Oil so your favored spices will stick. Set aside and let the chicken reach room temp…I personally spatchcock my chicken, put on smoker skin side up. I’ve never tried the above recipe but I am sure it’s good.
