Poultry Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Chicken

   Rinse the whole chicken under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels.

2. 2

   Season the Chicken

   In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and dried thyme. Rub this mixture all over the chicken, ensuring it gets under the skin and inside the cavity.

3. 3

   Preheat the Smoker

   Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C). Soak the wood chips in water for at least 30 minutes before using.

4. 4

   Smoke the Chicken

   Once the smoker is ready, add the soaked wood chips. Place the chicken on the smoker rack and close the lid. Smoke the chicken for 3 to 4 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

5. 5

   Rest and Serve

   Remove the chicken from the smoker and let it rest for 15 minutes before carving. Serve warm.
