Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Preheat your smoker or grill to 250°F (120°C). In a small bowl, mix together smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to create a rub.

  2. 2

    Season the Chicken

    Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Rub olive oil all over the chicken, then generously apply the spice rub, making sure to cover all areas, including under the skin.

  3. 3

    Smoke the Chicken

    Place the chicken in the smoker or on the grill. Cook for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  4. 4

    Prepare the Sides

    While the chicken is smoking, prepare your desired sides (e.g., coleslaw, baked beans, corn on the cob, etc.).

  5. 5

    Toast the Texas Toast

    In the last 10 minutes of cooking, place the Texas toast on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the smoker and let it rest for 10 minutes before carving it in half. Serve half of the chicken alongside your two sides and Texas toast.
