Title: My 1st smoked chicken!!!
Post by: TMcAree on May 05, 2015, 07:27:21 PM
Well here is my 1st attempt at smoking a chicken. It stalled out for quite a while at 154f  but finished up in about 3 hrs.(//url=http://postimg.org/image/tujydyraf/%5Dhttp://%5Bimg%5Dhttp://s15.postimg.org/tujydyraf/20150505_211806.jpg)[/url]][/img]

Good looking bird. What flavor pucks and rub did you use? I did mine on Tuesday on a stand and it came out looking like yours. I used pecan and a modified Jan's rub. My wife and I have cooked chicken like this many times and enjoy much better than conventional preparation. On occasion we finish off in the oven.

I used apple pucks this time, the chicken was super moist and had a great smokey flavour. The only thing i'd like to fix is the skin was very rubbery, and i LOVE the skin!  I'll finish up in the oven next time :)

Great looking bird!  Chicken is still one of my favourites in the Bradley.

As an aside, I haven't been able to get any pecan bisquettes here locally.  May have to order on-line, would love to try some.
