Smoker is a going !

Put this tasty morsel on at 11am. Injected butter and taco seasoning. The smell already has the neighbors coming over !

Turned out delicious!

Looks good Jbyrd

Nice looking bird. How much is a whole chicken where you are? I think its$1.48/# here, making it about $9 a bird. Crazy, when you can get a whole rotisserie cooked chicken at Sam's for $5..

I’ll buy them when Kroger has them on sale anywhere from $.49-$.79 a pound and stick them in the freezer

Looks good, not sure about the taco seasoning though spiedie style is the way to go

I Spatchcock them when I cook them like that.

What temps did you use and cook to?

I've started brining my whole birds before smoking and will never go back. Incredible the difference it makes. Thick cut chops as well.

225 F until temp probe says 160 (+/- 5 deg) and it comes of to rest for 10 min.

I do the same. But I'm usually tossing one in a pot with veggies and herbs to make up stock.
