Preparation
Step 1
Preheat your smoker to 275 degrees Fahrenheit, and up to 325 degrees if your smoker can do it.
Add smoke wood (apple or cherry with a little pecan is great!)
Season the chicken, including the body cavity, with your favorite dry rub.
Put the chicken in your smoker. Make sure there's a drip pan under the chicken, 'cause it's gonna drip some fat!
Smoke for 1-1/2 to 3 hours. When the breast reaches 160 and the thigh is 170, remove it and let it rest for 20 minutes.
