Hey guys, I'm planning to do a whole chicken soon on my Grilla Kong. I planned to do it spatchcocked and cutting the back bone out to flatten and cook whole. It will be my first time doing a whole bird this way so before I get started I would like to turn it over to you all for any advice and suggestions...I.e. Rubs cook temp and times..

From what I've done in the past with whole chickens like beer can style I've had success and failures. I want crisp skin so I'm thinking of doing my cook temp around 275-300 in order to achieve it.

As always thanks for the help

I did a whole chicken yesterday (check my latest post for the finish pic). I smoked it at 250 because I also had a rack of ribs on. I wanted crispy skin too so I experimented with a melted butter basting process and it was awesome. Basted every hour after the first hour and man it was just as crispy as a 275-300 degree cook. I would bet doing the same butter baste at a higher temp would be over the top crispy and delicious.
