Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preparing the Chicken: Start by patting the whole chicken dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. This will help the seasonings stick better and promote a crispy skin.
-
Seasoning the Chicken: In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper to create a flavorful rub. Rub this mixture all over the chicken, making sure to evenly coat both the outside and inside of the bird.
-
Preparing the Electric Smoker: Preheat your Brinkmann Electric Smoker to 225°F (107°C) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Add your favorite wood chips for smoking – hickory, apple, or cherry wood chips are great choices for poultry.
-
Smoking the Chicken: Once the smoker is preheated and the wood chips are producing smoke, place the seasoned whole chicken on the smoker rack breast-side up. Close the smoker lid and let the chicken smoke for approximately 3-4 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part of the bird.
-
Resting and Serving: Once the chicken has reached the desired temperature, carefully remove it from the smoker and let it rest for about 10-15 minutes before carving. This resting period allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a tender and juicy chicken. Carve the smoked whole chicken into desired pieces and serve hot with your favorite sides.
