Cooking Instructions

  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, and black pepper. Rub the mixture all over the chicken, making sure to get under the skin for maximum flavor.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Smoker

    Soak the applewood chips in water for at least 30 minutes. Drain the chips and place them in the smoker box or directly on the coals of a charcoal grill.

  4. 4

    Smoke the Chicken

    Preheat the smoker or grill to 225°F (107°C). Place the seasoned chicken on the smoker rack or grill grate, and close the lid. Smoke the chicken for about 3-4 hours or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

  5. 5

    Rest and Serve

    Once done, remove the chicken from the smoker and let it rest for at least 15 minutes before carving. Serve with your favorite sides.
