I'm going to smoke this chicken low and slow at 150 for extra smoke first hour then bring it up to 225. Marinated in concentrated OG for 3 hours. It's almost 6 pounds and I spilt it down the breast. I'm hoping to get it really tender like Costco chickens, there's are really good and tender. 2 hours in and thigh and breast are 123 degrees. Burning oak and apple too. Mainley alder tho
This little bit of alder should last the whole cook almost. My smoker is really efficient. That's a 7 month of Aussie. I cut them in half in my wood chop saw
Took about 4 hours 20 minutes and never went over 225. Brought it to 165. Had 1 probe in thigh and 1 in the breast. Thigh got to 164 and breast 166. Didn't put any BBQ sauce on just some butter when it was done
Thanks guys! I never even opened the door either and it was really moist and tender. Pretty much the tenderness I was looking for, practice makes perfect tho so I'll get better
