My favorite thing about smoking chicken is that it’s super low pressure on time.
Coconut milk (goes great with a curry rub!). One great option is to use flavorful injections opens a world of possibilities. While we’re at it, can I just tell you how worth it smoking a whole chicken is? Probably the best thing about smoked chicken is how many different types of flavors you can add! The options are literally limitless. Even throw on some fresh bacon crumble and put it on top of a bright salad! And I guarantee your kids will never complain about leftovers when this is what you dish up. You can easily translate this into tacos, mix it up with some broccoli and pasta, add it to a grilled cheese with a little bit of pesto. P.S.A., this can go a long, long way - not just to add a rustic, verbose flavor to whatever you have planned, but also for all the leftovers! Raise your hands if you love to open your fridge and see flexible leftovers. Because while chicken is always a winner, smoking the meat just adds that little bit of pizzaz! And there’s nothing more glamorous than showing off how you cooked a whole chicken to mouth-watering perfection. Smoked chicken is definitely going to be the star of the show for your work’s potluck, family holiday feast, or just to show off for your sweetie. #Smoking sweetie skin#
Have I been guilty of taking all the skin because it’s just that good? Don’t judge! You would (and probably will) do the same. Even the skin is cooked to crisp, melt-in-your-mouth perfection. I know growing up, the best part of any holiday was when someone showed up with a foil pan with a smoked chicken in it, because there is nothing else on the buffet table that can compare to the succulent, dark flavor that you create. I promise you’re not going to need your work boots for this recipe. Ain’t nothing to be afraid of here though. In fact, so many people shy away from smoked chicken, under the impression that it’s not worth the effort and is more difficult than it actually is. Don’t be! I’m here with you every step of the way. If you’ve never smoked whole chicken before, you might be a little nervous.
Now don’t get scared! Smoking is one of the most rewarding styles of cooking, and easily the most versatile meat to use is chicken.
I see you’re ready for your culinary rite of passage!
