First chicken

[sanddancer]

First time chicken. Correct me if I,m wrong. No brine just rub. Oven temperature 225 to 250F. Smoke through the cooking process with vent wide open till bird reaches 165F. Punks cherry or apple.

That's a good start.   I go 250+.  The hotter the better.   The skin will be leathery, but you can finish it on a hot gasser if you want it to crisp up a bit.

Yep 250+ and only 3 hr smoke, the rest of the time your just cooking the bird.

Cook till the IT of the breast is 160 to 165 F,

Sounds good.  I may have to try one with just a rub on it.  I brine mine usually overnight in lots of sugar and salt.  My skin always comes out uneddible but the birds are great this way.
