Steve & Susie Wright Present Smoking a Chicken. The chicken gets three hours of smoke in our smoker. Then we wrap it and finish in the oven.

  • So, how does the skin turn out? I've heard that when you smoke it at a low temperature like that the skin becomes rubbery...

  • @stretch90 the skin is pretty much done-for after using this method. We did salvage most of it last time by hitting it with our charcoal starter, a weed burner, which is as close to a flame thrower as you can get at Harbor Freight.

  • looked good but you lost me when you used all the plastic... and 5 hours is over kill... unless you are useing a boiler chicken then maybe.. but dont you have teeth?

  • The plastic seals in steam and helps break down the collagen. The results are a juicy tender bird.

    I use a Pan Saver bag next to the chicken to protect from any plastic melting.

  • Not a BGE - thats a Grill Dome I believe - a nice blue one too.

  • Yep, you called it. It is a Grill Dome.

  • looks good but 5 hours for a 3 lb bird seems like a low return on investment, will try the mustard idea though

  • ill skip the plastic rap and keep my brain cells

  • Mustard...Great idea...!

  • looks delicious but I prefer a nice crunchy crispy skin on my chicken. I smoke em at about 350 F with some apple wood chunks. The low and slow method just doesn't get the skin the way I like it.

  • I'd like to add my 2 pennies, do not take any of this as anything but constructive ok?

    The smoke, perfect for the flavor, but the plastic and all, not necessary..

    put 2 tsp of butter (1sp on each side, under the skin).. , coat top with dry rub, put in pre-heated over @ 500 deg (yes 500) for 10 minutes, and do NOT open oven, reduce heat to 375 for 1.5 hrs or to temp, then you get a succulent, tasty bird.. Want more taste? BRINE your chicken for 2 hrs in a bath of salt-water and seasons.. A+

  • i dont care what anybody says everybody has thier own way of cooking. This chicken looks very tasty congrats and good job!
