Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Pat the chicken dry with paper towels and place it in a roasting pan.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a small bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, red wine vinegar, salt, black pepper, and chopped rosemary. Rub this mixture all over the chicken, making sure to get under the skin as well.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and cut the red potatoes into quarters. Toss them in olive oil, salt, and pepper, and place them around the chicken in the roasting pan.

  4. 4

    Smoke the Chicken

    Once the smoker is ready, add the soaked apple wood chips. Place the chicken in the smoker and cook for about 3 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

  5. 5

    Finish and Serve

    Remove the chicken from the smoker and let it rest for about 15 minutes before carving. Serve with the roasted red potatoes on the side.
