This Smoked Whole Chicken recipe is perfect for your next BBQ or gathering. It's cooked low and slow on a pellet grill, leaving your chicken juicy, tender, and incredibly flavorful.
If time allows, wet brine your chicken for 12-24 hours in a mixture of water, salt and brown sugar. Brining your chicken will help flavor your chicken while also keeping it super juicy, moist, and tender.
Step 6: Place your chicken on the grill grates of your smoker, breast side up. Smoke the chicken for 3 hours at 225, then check the internal temperature with a digital thermometer.
Step 7: If the chicken has not reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees, increase the heat to 275 and smoke another 30-45 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked.
