First Chicken

drdanMember

Did my first chicken yesterday.
Rub: Cook Shack Chicken Rub and held it in the fridge for about 14 hours.
Prep: Stuffed the cavity with onion, celery and fresh thyme. Covered bird with butter soaked cheese cloth (thanks Smokin Okie)
Pre-heated the smoker for half hour.
Wood: 1 oz mesquite and 2 oz apple.
Smoker Temp: 250 degrees.

Smoked for three hours and breast temp was at 152 degrees. Due to time constraints, I removed the bird and finished in the oven. The bird was fantastic! Great flavor and moist. I picked the carcass clean after dinner and the wife made chicken salad that is out of this world.

Glad it worked.

All you missed was making real chicken stock from the carcass. If you like soups at all, it's a great tip for go for.

Smokin,
I missed out on the chicken stock, but I did a turkey a few weeks ago and made stock off of that carcass and it was great!
