Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

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

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, mix olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture all over the chicken, ensuring even coverage. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for better flavor.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Smoker

    Preheat your smoker according to the manufacturer's instructions. Fill the water pan with 2 cups of water to keep the chicken moist during cooking.

  4. 4

    Smoke the Chicken

    Place the marinated chicken in the smoker. Smoke the chicken at 225°F (107°C) for about 3 to 4 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

  5. 5

    Rest and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the smoker and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. Serve warm.
